Need help with TV placement in apartment

[AndrewGeibel]

I am sure most of you guys have a lot more experience with owning/renting your own place and setting it up etc. I am having trouble figuring out which wall to put my TV against in my apartment. I think it would be best flat up against the wall instead of in a corner because of speaker placement for the surround sound. Here is the floor plan.



I want it in the living room but there are two walls I could put it against and can't decide which. Also I have a couch and love seat for that room. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh and the floor plan shows a fireplace. However at this time I do not have a unit with the fireplace although if an opening occurs with the fireplace I will take that one. So at this time there is no fireplace along the left wall in the living room.

I think it would be good where the fireplace is, if it's not there. Although if it does have a fire place, i wouldn't know where to put it with that floor plan!

is it a flat screen, i have mine mounted on the wall but make sure you ask the people who own the appartments first,

If you got surround sound going make sure you can have the correct distance for each speaker. However, I had surround sound and I dunno, the 2 speakers in the back kinda werent worth it for me.

Yes it is a flat screen. I could mount it and I am sure they would allow it as long as I return the wall the the original finish it was. As for distance from the speakers it isn't a huge deal because with my receiver I can make it louder or quieter based on distance. I have been using this set up in a different room for about a year so now I just need to get it set up in this new place.

This floor plan is just tough to get a tv in a good place. But hey what can I do.

Have you checked possible glare from the windows?

Have you checked possible glare from the windows?

No, I have not. But that will be the first thing I do. I don't get to move in until August and I live 800 miles away from there right now so I won't be able to check until I move in.
