i coooooould do that but the only problem is that the only other wall i have in that room which can reasonably fit a tv over it has a fireplace under it. even though i'd never use it, i don't really want to place it right above a fireplace
i don't NEED to upgrade i just have a problem seeing mine from where the couch is. i can't really move it forward much more than it already is without making the room look really small. i might try this one more time during after christmas sales and just deal with any TV looking a bit lopsided and silly
