When determining what size of TV screen will work best for your media wall, start with the dimensions of the wall where you'll be installing the fireplace and TV. Sketch it to scale, taking into consideration any existing windows, doorways or furniture arrangement built-in. This will give you the highest width and height parameters within which you can create your media wall.
