It would be safe as long as it is up high enough. Although, the fireplace and TV are separate focal points of a room. If you do, do not add any accessories. It will make it way to busy looking.

Is it a working fire place?

If it's not a working fire place,it may look a bit tacky but ya

If it's a working firer place, remember heat rises and TV facing are made of plastic.
I would not put it up there ether way.

I don't know if you asked this a few weeks ago but I said no because with the passing of the years the plasma TV set will be damage because of the heat generated by the fire place. Watcha wanna watch TV or fire place???

I wouldn't do it personaly, just because I would be afraid that some smoke might damage it. Most of the smoke will go through the chimney, however some might go up in the direction of the tv.

Every plasma ad would have you think otherwise. They all have the tvs sitting above the fire like the family Rembrandt. I have wondered if the heat of a fire and some wafting embers could damage the screen though. The manual SHOULD have a warning about it.
