Things that make me irrationally irritated: Wall mounted TVs above fireplaces. -- (edited) - Cuzzin Todd Aug 31, 15:31 12
- you can argue with my architect wife then - Reagen Aug 31, 15:35 9
  - I guess it looks like a painting over the fireplace? -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 15:35 8
    - The best is when I do the fireplace screensaver on it. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Aug 31, 15:39 2
      - Yo dawg... -- nm - Xhibit Aug 31, 15:40
      - And then also light a real fire? -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 15:40
    - classy af. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 15:36 4
      - When I was in grad skool, I put my little television IN the fireplace. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 15:41 3
        
        Much more difficult to pull off the fireplace-screensaver-while-having-a-real-fir e trick there. -- nm - znufrii needs to update his handle Aug 31, 15:45 2
        
        well, there were no TV screensavers back then. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 15:47 1
        
        Much, *much* more difficult, then. -- nm - znufrii needs to update his handle Aug 31, 15:48
- "Nice tv room, did you model it after an airport lounge?" -- nm - Max Aug 31, 15:34 1
  - Eh, our living room has it. Our family room does not. -- (edited) - Wakanda Forever Aug 31, 15:38
If you have the mount, use the mount. - znufrii needs to update his handle Aug 31, 15:21
wall mount but with a moveable option -- nm - Remlik Aug 31, 15:17
I prefer wall mount -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 31, 15:16
TVs with a center-only leg pedestal are few and far between (as opposed to 2 sets of legs), so make sure you have something long enough to set it on. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 31, 15:11 11
- My tv stand is 83 inches. I'm cool there. -- nm - amanda Aug 31, 15:40 1
  - Ooooooooo. I'd be tempted to buy a screen to fit - JD Aug 31, 16:12
- Mine has one leg. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 15:34
- Is that recent? Cause I've never not had one (flatscreen) without the single-center leg. -- nm* - Cuzzin Todd Aug 31, 15:27 4
  - I'm on my first flat screen. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 15:45 2
    - Welcome to 2001! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 31, 16:14 1
      - LOL, got it 4 years ago. Yes, that's right. I love new tech. The old one was working. Literally my first HD, and I got it used. -- nm* - loosilu Aug 31, 16:20
  - it's a more recent change with the switch to MASSIVE tvs. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 15:38
- I had to get a board of 1x12 to put under my new TV to make it fit on my stand. -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 15:23
- Indeed. This is how I ended up with my current TV having one set of legs on the cabinet that served as the base of the previous TV and - JD Aug 31, 15:15 1
  - I made the choice between two samsungs because the dresser we have it on wasn't wide enough for 2 legs. - JaxSean Aug 31, 15:21
Putting it on a stand would allow backlighting. -- nm - Max Aug 31, 15:07 7
- Do I want backlight? -- nm - amanda Aug 31, 15:33 2
  - I've heard it's better on the eyes in dark rooms, but I'm not invested either way. -- nm - Max Aug 31, 15:34
  - No. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 15:34
- unless you have like a wall mount that is almost flush, you should still be able to have backlighting on a wall mount. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 15:10 3
  - ok, why would you want backlighting? -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 15:34 2
    - to me, it makes looking at a tv in a dark room easier, as there is a bit of light coming from behind it. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 15:35 1
      - You could just turn on a lamp. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 15:36
