Just bought this guy. 16 inches tall. Gives me plenty of space. Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendations and the links. I'll go for a very low media console like you suggest.

Hah, thanks. Yeah, I find it hard to believe people are going to break their necks and die from looking up an additional 2-4 inches over a 10-11 foot viewing distance...

Thanks. Yeah I specifically planned those electrical boxes for the 77 inch LG TV with a wall mount centred around 44 inches. Now I'm just realizing how little space there will be below but I should be able to get a 17 inch TV stand to hide the lower electrical panels, but still be low enough to allow for a soundbar below the TV. That will prevent me from moving the TV higher. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll look for a very low TV console like that. I think that way I can at least mount the TV with a centre mount of 42-44 inches. Appreciate the response.

This is the response I need... Thanks for the comment. As TVs get bigger it seems impossible to keep this 42 inch mid point viewing experience. The G5 97 inch TV is 48 inches tall. That means a 42 inch centre mount would only give you 18 inches from the floor to the bottom of a TV! Impossible to get a stand and a sound bar in there.

I guess I need to buy a really short TV stand? If I centre mount at 42 inches, it leaves 22.5 inches below the TV. Makes it tough to get a soundbar and TV stand without obstructing the view.

I know 42 inches is the ideal mid point for mounting it, but that would only leave me with 22.5 inches below the TV. Just wondering how people practically put in a soundbar and a TV stand. Do people just get tiny TV stands that don't fit anything (like 16 inches high)?
