Well, I have responded to several threads about Plasmas and FP's over fireplaces. I have to to finally provide a picture of my own setup, until now.
Here it is. 42" Samsung on a full brick fireplace with an Onkyo HT setup. By some standards, not fancy at all. However it works for us and I like it. Believe it or not, I used no leveling device. I only measured. I measured like 10 billion times. I can tell you one thing, the tv can come down, but the bracket will NEVER be removed unless a larger tv is installed (unlikely). Everything is level and lined up perfectly. This picture makes it look off but its not
You can still see the speaker wires, however I will paint them white when I finish painting the fireplace, or I will replace with white wires. The only other thing I could not avoid was the wire track. You can probably see it, lower left of the TV. However, once painted I think it will be nearly invisible unless your looking for it. Hell, I have even stained the corner piece the same color as the wood so it blends. Let me tell you, it blends very nicely! I am happy with how it turned out. Please excuse the junk on the left. I had to break out the CyberHome dvd player so I can play some region 2 dvds
Its just there temporary until the PS3 can do it.
What do you all think?
