Default Wall mount TV

Mostly I agree, but. . .
I have a nice 2 drawer stand that I built from oak a few years back to
fit a 32" HD TV. Now we have a 55" and it overhangs the sides.

There is no other place to put the TV but against this one wall so
moving is not a consideration. It would also be more comfortable to
have it about 9" higher. It will be safer too, no chance to knock it
over. No, it is not above a fireplace that is way too high.

The stand will now hold the cable box, Amazon box, speaker bar.

As for moving, I won't be. We just moved here a couple of weeks ago so
holes in the wall will be my kids problem when the undertaker removes me.
