@goheelz yes ! - that's what I was thinking. I don't know how to elevate the tv; I Know I do not want to mount on the wall.
Maybe I can place it under a stack of hockey pucks right under the "feet"... All I need is 5inch of clearance.. I just have to look for a base, maybe build one. The TV is 6 years old, so it is heavy by today's standards.
