im guessing that would have to be built into a houses architecture if it were to be "hung" on a wall? i sure as hell am not hanging that...i got enough problems getting a 63" samsung over a fireplace. how much does it weigh?

well its not mine, i install home theater for a living and did that one awhile ago. and, from my experience, if there is a mantle above the fireplace, ill hang it there without much issue regarding heat. i have actually never had any issues with any tv's being hung over a fireplace.

I also install systems, but on yachts, so no fire place.
But when I say wow, I mean 63 inches of wow.
