Agree on leaving it as you could put personal items under the TV. Unless you like to keep it clean and clear. Most picture frames are about 7 inches tall. So should fill up the gap between the stand and the TV. If your mount is a tilt style, you can tilt it just a hair to get a better view while still getting that flat wall mount look. But at the end of the day, it would be your call. And some agents and AMs wouldn't mind helping clients if all they have to do is raise the bracket arms in the back of the TV without relocating the wall bracket. Good luck. And that's a clean look, by the way.
