[QUOTE="Matt Duff, post: 689076, member: 65060"] I used to be in A/V integrations so I have done more than my fair-share of flat panel installations. My advice to you would be to think things thru very well before doing anything. Double and triple measure to ensure your mounting measurements are accurate and as mentioned above, ancored well. Think ahead about viewing angle and in particular viewing height from your chair. A dumb trend is to mount these above fireplaces. The heat given off can be a life-shortener for the panel and the view angle is always too high. Take into account the ambient light from the window and where a glare might be on the screen during different times of the day. Then lastly, plan smartly about the tucking of the wires. Do it safely even if you have to hire an electrician. You did not spend the money to have a sexy flat panel on the wall and then have wires hanging down to your receivers. It just looks bad. Snake the cables thru the wall. Good luck.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
