Default Go for it - I think you'll like the result

Yes. We have a Bougainvillea (same floor plan as a Sun Kissed). Have a 55-inch TV on the wall by the front door. We mounted it on the wall with a movable, swing arm. It took me several years to talk my husband into it, but now we both love it there. It really opens up the room. We’ve never experienced any glare. But, depending upon the time of year, the sun coming up in the morning (we face east) will come through the window in the door and reflect off the TV right into my eyes when I’m at the dining table having breakfast. With the movable mount, just tilt the TV a little bit and no problem. It only last a ½ hour or so, so it’s not really an issue.
There was a time that my husband would have no issues with going up into the attic and running the necessary wiring and installing the outlets himself, but that ship has sailed! So we had an A/V guy come in and install an indented wall plug up behind where the TV was to be installed so there wouldn’t be any hanging cables – a nicer, uncluttered look. He wouldn’t install the swivel wall mount, so my husband did that work.
I’d say to go for it. I really don’t think you’ll regret it.
