Re: What's with all the plasmas installed OVER the mantle?!

My take on this is that fireplaces dominate family/living rooms, and there often isn't a "center" location for a video display.

Placing a plasma above the fireplace mantle remedies this problem, by centering the video display so that stereo speakers can flank it at appropriately spaced distances.

Also, it seems that the traditional TV cabinet in all but the more recently built homes is too narrow to fit a 42" plasma? My home was built in 1992, and I don't think the TV cabinet is wide enough to handle a 42" plasma.
