Can I place a tv over our fireplace?

We want to put a television over our fireplace but mantle needs to be a minimum of 12" from the top of the fireplace resulting in the tv sitting quite high up. I want to use a flatscreen mounted on a bracket so we can tilt it down when we watch but I want the tv to look nice when it is not in use so it needs to fold back flush with the stone it will be mounted on. Any thoughts??
forego having a mantle
putting a smaller tv
eliminate the hearth thus the fireplace would be lower

    Without a mantel for a more contemporary feel.

    A pic would help--your firebox must be higher than normal off of the floor?

    Pictures would be helpful. In my professional opinion height of the display is truly dependent on viewing distance. And you may think your going to want to pull the TV in and out, but honesty most people leave it tilted

    thank you. I am afraid you are right - we would just leave it and I want a really high end nice look.

    You can still accomplish a high end look with some form of time on the display. We work on a lot of luxury residential projects which have TV's mounted on the fireplace which are on tilt mounts. Feel free to reach out directly or view our Houzz page for more pics

    since I posted my question I have been online getting ideas and the jist seems to be we should not consider placing a tv over a fireplace. The heat is not good for the electronics. Sounds like you do it all the time though??? Maybe I will send a picture since I really want to do this but we are re-thinking placing it over the fireplace.

    Having the TV mounted higher on the fireplace is not an issue if your seating is far enough from the TV.

    Heat has not been a issue for us. We have had it mounted above the fireplace for 7 years.

    We have the same issue and it feels high unless you sit far away from it.
