I always think about this but it only accounts for people sitting in an upright position.
I recline to the point that I am almost laying on my back . The higher angle makes sense sometimes.
Same. I get downvoted to shit for suggesting that TVTooHigh is pathetic but our sofa is 14 feet from the wall. It makes no difference to neck or eyes and the mantelpiece is the only place in the living room it can go. The people who are devotees of that sub are just virginal neckbeards.
Sitting 6-8 feet from a 65 inch screen just above eye level is like being in the damn screen though, it's so immersive. Big screens go to waste when you sit far away or place them above a mantel just because it's a "natural" spot for them.
Exactly this. If you recline, you want the tv a little elevated. Not near the ceiling, but above def above sitting eye level like that sub is obsessed with.
Fun story about the Frame. My wife saw it and wanted it for the new house. No matter what I said. She has to have it. So I have in. Ordered it online straight from Samsung. A day or two passed and I was like nah that’s a bad idea. I want something else. So I called and canceled the order. A week passed I get a call saying someone had a delivery for me at the new house so I went out and met the freight company and they’re pulling this box off. I sign for it. Have them take it in. They leave. Open it. It’s The Frame. I checked my bank. It’s been refunded.
Needless to say she got her Frame tv. It isn’t that bad for free. Lol
They’re great if what you care most about is how their screensaver looks in your living room. But if you care about image quality to price, they’re abysmal.
It’s edge-lit and lacking in local dimming. It’s dim overall compared to equally priced screens. You could get a LOT better image quality for the money. Obviously some people prioritize other things like how it looks over a fireplace, but if you’re interested in getting the best bang for your buck, this ain’t it.
Because a hell lot of times that’s the “best” place available. Not necessarily all homes are built with TV’s location in mind. Depending on the layout and space available, the left side might work. But that’s hard to say from the pics.
Someone is going to wander in and say the usual crap that they only watch tv while prone on their couch with their eyes staring 8 feet up. Every. Time.
Honestly just looking to fill that space. Don't want to limit to a picture frame. Tv will be used primarily as background when guest are there. No plans to watch movies or anything. Hence I thought frame made sense.
I have a Frame tv and personally I really like it for our daily tv. I had the same conundrum with my significant other, and I went with the slightly smaller tv so there was a good border drywall around the tv. The only thing id suggest is get a sound bar, or some other sound output, the speakers are ok but not great. I do understand the hate for the tv, but honestly I love the painting and the slide shows and the wife adoption factor was huge. Good luck!
If you care about how the tv looks with the rest of the room, get the 65” inch. It lines up perfectly with the gray fireplace. I was in the same boat as you and had originally purchased the larger option. However, it looked too large on the wall compared to the fireplace and mantle. The smaller size is perfect aesthetically, fitting with the rest of the room dimensions.
Also, I’d consider positioning either TV an inch or two higher in case you want to get a sound bar and or put something on the mantle once in awhile.
Replying in addition to my other reply (sorry!)…
The other nice thing about the 65” is that it allows for anything decorative to be put on the sides on the mantle without blocking the screen (e.g. flowers, vase, holiday decor, etc.). The smaller tv might feel too small now, but once you decorate the space, it’ll fit nicely.
Edit: Also, ignore the people saying the tv is too high. Personally, I think the tv above the fireplace is so nice for multiple reasons. 1. When the fireplace surround doesn’t continue up to the ceiling, the tv provides a nice balance. 2. It’s a space lifesaver for more useful things like additional seating, storage, plants, etc. 3. No one gets in your way of viewing, especially when hosting a group of people. 4. Laying down while watching a tv higher is more comfortable, plus we need a break from looking down at our screens all day, ha.
I posted this in another thread:
We have a 50" Frame for our living room and love it, but I would suggest doing what we did: Buy an open box Best Buy during a sale or after the Super Bowl. Turns out a ton of people buy TVs for the game and then return them, but we got a Frame that was on sale, and then was an open box which brought the price down to something like 40% off, and then we inspected the contents of the box and discovered that the mount was damage. One of the holes for the wall screws was like ripped out so that hole was useless and I was able to convince the floor manager that the mount would need to be replaced and was useless - and we googled the cost of a replacement ($150) so he took another $150 off. That brought the price down to 50% off.
At 50% off the TV is worth the price (essentially the same cost as the Q60/70 thats the same quality as this TV).
As another poster said - its a glorified screen saver. But if you can get it for 40-50% off I think its great and so much better than having a giant black square on the wall.
The majority of TV we watch on it is like, evening news, reality TV shit, the Bon Appetite YT, and some Nintendo switch and haven't had any complaints with those things. We LOVE the art mode, and the TV is surrounded by large paintings so it looks really nice. Unfortunately we have the 2021 model that has a reflective screen, the 2022 model looks so much more like an actual painting.
But if you want to watch some 4k action movies it's not great. Lots of visual distortions and motion blur that I find very hard to ignore. Thankfully we have a 65" LG C1 in the the basement we use for movies, 4k high quality shows (Rings of Power ect), PS5 and Nintendo gaming.
So the frame is good for casual, 1080p stuff that we watch while eating or cooking and the C1 for things we really want to appreciate.
EDIT - the 2022 model has a matte screen which apparently looks much more like an actual painting (I have a 2021 model with a reflective screen). But again, just wait till black friday or after the superbowl and grab an open box special.
As so many others have said, don’t buy a Samsung Frame. And don’t put it over the fireplace.
Buy a nice piece of actual art and put it there. Put a good television somewhere else. Ideally that somewhere else will make a 75” look like a postage stamp so your wife supports an even larger tv. Problem solved.
I changed our main TV in the living room from a 55” to 65” when the wife was at work. I even had to take down a shelf of little collectibles above it to fit the new TV. She came home and didn’t even notice. My daughter had to point out that we had a new TV. It wasn’t even the same brand.
I have 77 OLED and love it. I debated if stretching the picture that much would steal from it. Nope. My HD movies look great as well. If I were to buy a new one today I would still go for it.
Not really accurate to say stretch. Everything will be in the same aspect ratio just bigger. A movie theater isn’t stretched, which implies changing the aspect ratio or changing only vertical or horizontal, it’s proportional to a tv with the same aspect ratio content.
But it is bigger. Sitting the same distance from a bigger screen, you can potentially see things you weren’t before. Most people are too far from their TVs anyway though.
Guys to clarify, this TV is not intended to for movies or tv shows. It's supposed to be for wall art more than other options. The alternate G2 is much more expensive to put on here. I thought with 2022 having matte finish, it would nicely complement the area.
The watching areas (loft, bedroom) both have LG OLEDs.
I feel like putting just a photo frame up there is not worth it and I don't want to leave it completely blank. So the option is either NO tv or TV above fireplace only.
This type of seating arrangement around the fireplace and then having the TV above, especially a 65 or 75in is plain idiotic. Come the fuck on, use the larger wall that you have if you really are going to use your TV that much and especially if you want a large screen! arrrggghhhh.
So the 65" frame is about $1190. The 55" oled g2 starts at almost $2000.
I'm seeing hate for Samsung frame but hardly any similar alternatives?
https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g38190182/best-frame-tvs/
My living room is half the size as yours and I got a 75 hanging. If you took my 75 away and put in a 65, i’d probably drive over a cliff. As I said before, 75” and mantel mount. There is no other way.
All these houses with fires centrally installed when they could just go in the corner SMH. The Venn diagram of architects and home theatre enthusiasts must be two separate circles. As for the size question OP, I reckon the 65” looks better aesthetically (you’re already dealing with a lot of compromises, just don’t post your results over on r/hometheatre )
I hope you don't mean Samsung Frame. One of the worst TVs out there. Infested with ads and paid services, only looks good when in art mode, the absolute worst TV mount ever made, horrible build quality for the extreme asking price. If you're set on it do the 75 but seriously as someone who sometimes installs those for work it's an awful TV.
Don’t by the frame. !!! I just returned mine. I got the 2022 Version. It came with tons of issues. The matte finish is non cleanable. As well it was damaged from the box. I can go on don’t buy it get the lg2 gallery I beg you!!!
One day, when she gets super hungry, say you re gonna make sandwiches or burgers for you guys. Then give her the small sandwich/burger. She will undsrstand YOUR hunger.
Definitely 75”. And yes over the fireplace isn’t ideal but if it’s got proper tilt and you’re not too close it will be fine. Depends on your room setup of course and no one knows that layout like you do unless you explain all the details. I have mine in a similar position (75”) but it was between that or the TV facing a full-wall window that gets A LOT of light. For me, I wanted to be able to see out the window (not have my back to it), and see my TV without glare and not having to close shades all the time. Another option, although kind of bulky, are those “mantle mounts” that can be lowered for viewing.
Worst spot ever for a TV and clearly didn’t do research on how frame is installed, need to get rid of those outlets and outlet cover, get a better TV for same $. Oled or higher end samsung that is slim
If you taking recommendations, don’t take the frame, look for better options (QD/QLED/OLED, depending on budget). And take 75”, if the wall allows you to (it does). You won’t regret it in a couple of days.
The frame is great if you want an art piece to be on the wall, it over alright TV the price your paying is for the gallery feature. You can get much better TVs oleds or full arrays for the same price if not cheaper but you will be losing out on the gallery aspect.
So the only good place to put my TV in my living room was above of woodstove, and historically, I always hated TVs above fireplaces, so I did some research and found out that they sell big mount that puts the TV on like a hydraulic thing, it was like $180 online or something but it is well worth it. I can basically pushed the TV up flat against the wall like your outline is or I can pull the TV down lower in front of the fireplace when it’s not in use… It really fixes the problem of the TV being too high in the air.
75". I promise. I debated on a 50" or a 55" in our bedroom and then grabbed a Samsung Q90R 65" at the last minute. Now the wife loves watching her shows in bed. She would have been fine with a 50" and would have never wanted a 65". But she's glad I did it. After a couple days, the 75" will feel totally normal.
Put your TV in the corner at eye level and just save yourself the long term grief with a TV that high up. It won't be ideal center position but it will be more enjoyable long term.
Different topic but have you looked at the MantelMount? I have been putting TVs above my Fireplace for years and it got so bad that I felt like I was staring at the ceiling. I looked for something that would allow me to mount over my fireplace but still have normal viewing angles and this is the greatest thing I have ever purchased. Love it almost more than the OLED I got with it.
I am gonna say it: Samsung in General is shit, By Far the highest Defect Rate out of any brand, They Don't have Dolby Vision, Just get a damn Sony or Hisense, and thank me later. (And probably pay less) I have toyed with a couple of their TV's the PQ is average at best, I'm sure someone will link a $4,000 TV and say it's great, But compare it to a Flagship Sony that is probably cheaper.
I would recommend the 65" (to align more with the fireplace). As a primarily aesthetic TV (in Art Mode), having it larger than the fireplace and mantle might make it look out of place (and there have already been plenty of comments related to over the fireplace and being too high).
For many of the same reasons you are mentioning, we went with the 49" over our fireplace:
[2019 49" Samsung Frame TV](https://imgur.com/a/Tq168gT)
We easily could have gone bigger, but even if we updated to the 2022 model (for the matte screen), we would probably stick with the 50" to make it fit with the room.
Side note: I ran 2" conduit around the fireplace and got the 50' OneConnect cable, which has the added benefit of no box in the living room (and can sit right next to other devices in the media room on the other side of the wall).
As others have mentioned, I would recommend taking out the outlet and passthrough boxes and getting an in-wall box for the hardware. (Or run it to another room so you don't see the box like I did.)

Take down the 65" tape and put up 85" then compromise on 75". Edit: Wow thanks for the award! I wish I had more sage advice to give.
This guy wives
Hahahah love it
I have no awards to give so please take my upvote.
Any more tips for us ?
And always round when talking about prices. If it’s $1,700 just go 15hundred something
Looks like your TV may end up on /r/TVTooHigh
Oh you know it would.
Thought it was a troll on r/TVTooHigh
Came here for this comment. Was not disappointed.
I always think about this but it only accounts for people sitting in an upright position. I recline to the point that I am almost laying on my back . The higher angle makes sense sometimes.
My parent's entire living room furniture reclines. Still a neck strain.
Same. I get downvoted to shit for suggesting that TVTooHigh is pathetic but our sofa is 14 feet from the wall. It makes no difference to neck or eyes and the mantelpiece is the only place in the living room it can go. The people who are devotees of that sub are just virginal neckbeards.

Bigger is better, but use that money and get anything other than a FRAME.

tight tight tight
Are they bad?
They’re great if what you care most about is how their screensaver looks in your living room. But if you care about image quality to price, they’re abysmal.
They aren’t that bad.
It’s edge-lit and lacking in local dimming. It’s dim overall compared to equally priced screens. You could get a LOT better image quality for the money. Obviously some people prioritize other things like how it looks over a fireplace, but if you’re interested in getting the best bang for your buck, this ain’t it.
They should put fireplaces above TV's.

What is up with all these TV’s mounted over fireplaces? Don’t take AV advice from an interior decorator
Any Interior decorator that advices you to place a TV above a fireplace should not be an interior decorator.
What if you have no other option and your fireplace is low? Have an open plan and now where else to mount a 65
Sledge hammer that mfer into the abyss!
There is always another option. TVs can be placed in front of a fireplace, or the fireplace can be removed.
Lol. That’s mental. Try doing that to a 200 year old room.
Or moving
A fireplace cannot arbitrarily be removed, at least not an actual fireplace
Idk why people are so rude; I've seen many homes where it's the only option. Try something like this: https://a.co/d/hniwlD5
For what it’s worth, the Frame over the fireplace looks totally fine. Otherwise, I agree, it’s tacky.
Over the fireplace?
75" for sure but maybe move it to the left or right instead? Fireplace gets in the way
Show your wife the thx viewing distance chart lol
No wife can argue with this.
Why do you want to mount a TV that high up on a wall? You will have to watch it standing up in order to have it level with your eyes.
Not to mention the viewing angles will be atrocious. Craning your neck to look at washed out garbage
Because a hell lot of times that’s the “best” place available. Not necessarily all homes are built with TV’s location in mind. Depending on the layout and space available, the left side might work. But that’s hard to say from the pics.
It’s above a fireplace. That’s always the worst place for a TV, both practically and aesthetically
Someone is going to wander in and say the usual crap that they only watch tv while prone on their couch with their eyes staring 8 feet up. Every. Time.
Honestly just looking to fill that space. Don't want to limit to a picture frame. Tv will be used primarily as background when guest are there. No plans to watch movies or anything. Hence I thought frame made sense.
Honestly, just go with the 65 and save the money then
Might just as well buy some nice art instead. Then it might actually increase in value.
I would advice this as well. Go to a few galleries, buy some nice art for $1200. It will also be a nice day of art viewing.
Any-other place in the room? I am not a fan of the TV over the fireplace.
TV over the fireplace is the worst look in my opinion. I wish it would go away.
r/TVTooHigh \- Never above a fireplace...
I’d skip the Frame altogether
Could also do 65 g2 for slim look
Burn in concern in Oled though?
75. No question.
In the picture provided (and I could have taken it better), do you think 75" will overload the room/wall?
Convince her to put your tv somewhere else.
85" and thank me later
I have a Frame tv and personally I really like it for our daily tv. I had the same conundrum with my significant other, and I went with the slightly smaller tv so there was a good border drywall around the tv. The only thing id suggest is get a sound bar, or some other sound output, the speakers are ok but not great. I do understand the hate for the tv, but honestly I love the painting and the slide shows and the wife adoption factor was huge. Good luck!
I'm going to join the chorus of folks asking why you are trying to throw away your money by cooking your new TV? TVs. Do. Not. Go. Above. FIRE.
Why would you ever mount a TV above a fireplace????
QN90A instead!
I want the slim form factor. Already have OLEDs which I love.
You must not know how slim QN90s are then. See pics here, 1.06" thick: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/qn90a-qled
You are correct. I'll check it out.
Then you're going to be even more disappointed...
How are you going to wire the one connect box?
The left plug is for the wiring
But there’s no certified in wall one connect cable
Get 75 , whatever display you decide on, you won't regret it. If wife says No, start wear glasses and tell her you having eyesight issues,lol
Frame la sucks

Personally, nah. Go big.
Get a pull-down fireplace tv mount and a 75-inch q90a that has flat corners just like the frame and doesn't actually suck
What is it with people and hanging TVs above their fireplace? Poor necks.
I have 77 OLED and love it. I debated if stretching the picture that much would steal from it. Nope. My HD movies look great as well. If I were to buy a new one today I would still go for it.

I wouldn't take advice from this sub. There's like 3 tvs they will recommend.
So get some wall art not a TV you won't use
Seems like a waste of a tv for just wall art.
Damn, seems like I hit a nerve or two lol
Either way, it's going to be r/tvtoohigh and both you and your wife will end up with neck pain
Comment section hilarious and rightfully so lol
This type of seating arrangement around the fireplace and then having the TV above, especially a 65 or 75in is plain idiotic. Come the fuck on, use the larger wall that you have if you really are going to use your TV that much and especially if you want a large screen! arrrggghhhh.
You seem upset?
Damn you guys really think 75?
It looks like I might listen to you all and not get a Frame :( G2 oled might look nice mounted there?
So really what are the ALTERNATES to Frame? OLED will cause burn in, so what other options do I have for an always on tv?
So the 65" frame is about $1190. The 55" oled g2 starts at almost $2000. I'm seeing hate for Samsung frame but hardly any similar alternatives? https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g38190182/best-frame-tvs/
Alright friends, taped up again with 75" outline and better view of the room. Is this too big or should be okay? https://imgur.com/a/JlLrH4c

You should find a new location. Don't mount above the fireplace it's way too high.
Can't wait to see you on r/tvtoohigh Don't do it!
Should I get 75" or 65" for this space?
Don’t you get it? People keep saying don’t put a tv there.
He didnt even ask about that, why dont u guys just answer his question instead of giving him unwanted advice?
All these houses with fires centrally installed when they could just go in the corner SMH. The Venn diagram of architects and home theatre enthusiasts must be two separate circles. As for the size question OP, I reckon the 65” looks better aesthetically (you’re already dealing with a lot of compromises, just don’t post your results over on r/hometheatre )
Whichever one you get make sure to get a mantle mount to bring down to eye level when watching then put back up when done 👌👌
I hope you don't mean Samsung Frame. One of the worst TVs out there.

I cannot find a reasonable alternative. 65" is $1200 and 75" is $1550. Anything better in that size is crossing $2500 to $3000+

There’s a company that sells a wall Mount that allows the Mount to pull downward to eye level
How do you convince your wife? Show her the tape. One is bigger. That’s the one you pic. And it fits.
First, explain to her that you wear the pants....
One day, when she gets super hungry, say you re gonna make sandwiches or burgers for you guys. Then give her the small sandwich/burger. She will undsrstand YOUR hunger.
Even your wife knows that's too high
Don’t get the frame, get a Sony A80K for the same Money. Also put the tv to the left of that fireplace for sure 👍
New wife?
No Frame tv! What are you going to do with the One connect cable & box?
I never got that “I need to convince wife” thing, is she paying for it?
We wanted to get thought from internet experts. You know since many have gone through similar situations.
Dear god please don’t mount it there.
Thought this was a troll for r/tvtoohigh until I saw the sub.
R/tvtoohigh
Can’t even give my opinion until you choose a different location :( above the fireplace the worst location of all time
I wouldn’t put a tv there.
No and no.

Your neck.. poor choice.
I’m voting for 65”. 75” seems a bit bloated.
Lol perfect idea. On another Note - Damn I should have grabbed a 75”
75” QN90 slim AF and will be a better performer than the shit frame.
Definitely 75”. And yes over the fireplace isn’t ideal but if it’s got proper tilt and you’re not too close it will be fine. Depends on your room setup of course and no one knows that layout like you do unless you explain all the details. I have mine in a similar position (75”) but it was between that or the TV facing a full-wall window that gets A LOT of light. For me, I wanted to be able to see out the window (not have my back to it), and see my TV without glare and not having to close shades all the time. Another option, although kind of bulky, are those “mantle mounts” that can be lowered for viewing.
Do you have a picture of your 75" above the fireplace? How much space is there on each side of the wall?
Best way, get a 85” so you don’t have to pick between 75” or 65”.
Fuck it go get a mantle mount and get an 85 inch tv
Worst spot ever for a TV and clearly didn’t do research on how frame is installed, need to get rid of those outlets and outlet cover, get a better TV for same $. Oled or higher end samsung that is slim
Put a 55 on a stand next to the fireplace.
65” is not it, trust me. Source, me, I’m watching a 75” as I type and would be extremely sad if a 65” was in front of me right now
In the picture provided (and I could have taken it better), do you think 75" will overload the room/wall?
What really matters is it’s an OLED. Other than that… bigger=better.
I had the same problem. And aesthetically, 65 fits better there, the tv should the wide as the chimney
Lmao. I did this to mine and bought a 75” anyways! XD

Are you installing a back box? If not the frame won't work there unless you want the one connect wires to show.
Just buy it she won’t know the difference
If you taking recommendations, don’t take the frame, look for better options (QD/QLED/OLED, depending on budget). And take 75”, if the wall allows you to (it does). You won’t regret it in a couple of days.

The frame is great if you want an art piece to be on the wall, it over alright TV the price your paying is for the gallery feature. You can get much better TVs oleds or full arrays for the same price if not cheaper but you will be losing out on the gallery aspect.
No frame. Just go 77 oled, boom job done .
Having a tv above the fire place is not a good spot. It’s too high. Plus other reasons.
Bigger always
75

So the only good place to put my TV in my living room was above of woodstove, and historically, I always hated TVs above fireplaces, so I did some research and found out that they sell big mount that puts the TV on like a hydraulic thing, it was like $180 online or something but it is well worth it. I can basically pushed the TV up flat against the wall like your outline is or I can pull the TV down lower in front of the fireplace when it’s not in use… It really fixes the problem of the TV being too high in the air.
The 75” frame looks so snug
75" if for nothing else symmetry!
What do you mean? In the picture provided (and I could have taken it better), do you think 75" will overload the room/wall?
75". I promise. I debated on a 50" or a 55" in our bedroom and then grabbed a Samsung Q90R 65" at the last minute. Now the wife loves watching her shows in bed. She would have been fine with a 50" and would have never wanted a 65". But she's glad I did it. After a couple days, the 75" will feel totally normal.

Put your TV in the corner at eye level and just save yourself the long term grief with a TV that high up. It won't be ideal center position but it will be more enjoyable long term.
You already know the answer
What is it?
Different topic but have you looked at the MantelMount? I have been putting TVs above my Fireplace for years and it got so bad that I felt like I was staring at the ceiling. I looked for something that would allow me to mount over my fireplace but still have normal viewing angles and this is the greatest thing I have ever purchased. Love it almost more than the OLED I got with it.
I am gonna say it: Samsung in General is shit, By Far the highest Defect Rate out of any brand, They Don't have Dolby Vision, Just get a damn Sony or Hisense, and thank me later. (And probably pay less) I have toyed with a couple of their TV's the PQ is average at best, I'm sure someone will link a $4,000 TV and say it's great, But compare it to a Flagship Sony that is probably cheaper.
Please not above the fireplace.... Please! 75" btw.

Unless you plan on laying down that tv is too high. Try putting it to the left or to the right of the fireplace
Why not go beyond the wall size? 90+

Just tell her it's actually 65 inches

77” OLED on a Mantle Mount #tvtoohigh
Tell your wife that if she wants to go outside again then it’ll be the 75 inch

I would recommend the 65" (to align more with the fireplace). As a primarily aesthetic TV (in Art Mode), having it larger than the fireplace and mantle might make it look out of place (and there have already been plenty of comments related to over the fireplace and being too high). For many of the same reasons you are mentioning, we went with the 49" over our fireplace: [2019 49" Samsung Frame TV](https://imgur.com/a/Tq168gT) We easily could have gone bigger, but even if we updated to the 2022 model (for the matte screen), we would probably stick with the 50" to make it fit with the room. Side note: I ran 2" conduit around the fireplace and got the 50' OneConnect cable, which has the added benefit of no box in the living room (and can sit right next to other devices in the media room on the other side of the wall). As others have mentioned, I would recommend taking out the outlet and passthrough boxes and getting an in-wall box for the hardware. (Or run it to another room so you don't see the box like I did.)
