So we had our contractor, Brandon, mount the TV on the wall near the staircase, running all the cables and wires out of sight within the wall. It took him a few hours, and looked like a real pain, but when he was done we loved it. Until we realized that it really didn't work to organize the room that way. And then we decided we needed to put it over the fireplace. Now this is a major undertaking if we wanted to put our cables in the wall. We did want them in the wall. So forward we went. Unluckily (especially for him!) Brandon took a softball in the face not once, but two weeks in a row and was unable to lend his services due to his broken nose, and painfully swollen face, but he was nice enough to come by and give us guidance and a framework for the job. Cordless drill and Sawzall in hand, we turned to routing the cables through the wall and mounting the TV. It's now finished and it was definitely the right decision. It opens up the space, is much more comfortable, and looks pretty good too. Now we need to patch the holes in the drywall, repaint those spots, and we'll be done.
