Yeah, I'm with the consensus here, and agree that I would never put a TV above a fireplace. But seriously, these folks have nowhere else to put it. It's all glass walls in this room. Plus, while I can gently nudge my clients in a direction, it doesn't mean they'll listen to me. It's incredible how many of my clients decide not to institute a backup plan despite my dire warnings of computer catastrophe.

I'll do my best to think of an alternative, but I think this TV is going above that fireplace no matter what I say. We'll be getting them a swiveling/rotating mount, so at least the viewing angle to the screen won't be bad, despite the poor viewing angle on the neck
