Like almost everyone here, I agree, the TV does not look nice on the wall at all. No matter what you do, it will still look terrible.
to me, I would get a low credenza beneath it and take the TV off the wall and have it on a pedestal, or small TV stand placed on top of the credenza.
I know the rage these days is the TV hanging on the wall, and I don't care, its ugly.
Exactly like "Wildcard" has shown above is exactly what I meant (thank you WC).
You might have stated the TV can't be moved? yes it can. You either want to move it or you don't, but it can be moved, and it should.
[quote=Moonlady;54625873]That sounds cool but not in my budget at the moment.
Well, you see it was centered when we installed the mount. The mount requires a stud so I’d have to go 16 inches to the right or left. It’s actually centered when extended, but the resting position puts it to the right or left. I may end up investing in one of those mounts that doesn’t swing, but I do like the fact that I can angle it to the kitchen so I can watch while I’m prepping dinner.
I do think the console table is in order, but the beauty of internet only TV is that you don’t need other paraphernalia![/quote]
while I agree with what you mean, from a purely visionary perspective, the television does not look nice the way you have it. Im sorry, it simply does not look nice hanging there at all.

Yes I came to that conclusion and if you read my most recent post I have decided to put something under it.
While this isn't my finest decorating effort, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome so far for spending less than $100. Eventually I will replace the bookcase with a nicer console. I'm going to go look for some plants (the one that's there was borrowed form another room but I like the look of a plant in that space and on the other side) and some more decorations and picture frames for the bookcase.
The large picture frames will eventually hold pictures of the kids and grandkids.
So, thanks to all who made suggestions - I'm much happier with my wall now!
Looks good, no longer a lonely black box on the wall. I wish there was a way to project a something/picture/scenery, on the screen of these TV's but then you would probably have to leave them in all the time. I understand about having on wall bracket so you can turn it to see from another area.
Yes, but she already said that there is no room for one. It would stick out into the walkway.
They do make narrow console tables that will work. My temorary solution with the bookcase is just about the right width. At least now I have something besides a big ugly wall until I find a better solution.
