Is mounting the TV above the fireplace a good idea?

Mounting the TV above the fireplace is often visually appealing but can cause discomfort and poor viewing angles. This placement tends to be too high for comfortable eye-level watching and can make the fireplace less of a focal point. Instead, placing the TV in a shallow living room nook allows easier viewing and frees the fireplace to display art or decor, creating a balanced and inviting room setup.
