Thanks in finance!
Answers: Their is framing around fireplaces, it just have minimum distances that must be met to avoid catching fire from the heat created by the fireplace.
Your best bet would be to turn purchase a piece of "A" faced plywood, attach it to the dry wall next to good metal molly sinks, beside one end on the plywood resting on the mantel, paint, stain or finish to contest the wall, then mount your TV to the Plywood. The crest on the mantel will carry the shipment of the TV. The molly sinks in the dry wall will hold the plywood adjectives.
Just be sure to use metal molly sinks that expand behind the dry wall. The cheap plastic molly sinks will verbs right out and let your TV leak forward onto the floor.
How about placing the t.v on a lcd stand on the mantel?
