I'd vote for taking it out, but making sure that the cable jack is visible. I don't need to see a tv, but I do want to know where one is possible without calling in someone to run wiring for me.

I would also take it out.

I vote to remove the TV.

Don't know what relative size you're dealing with, but a hybrid decision might be to take down the big flatscreen, but buy a much smaller TV that doesn't block the windows, but shows where the TV cable is. A small TV isn't very expensive.

Another vote for removing it.

Remove it! When we bought our brand new condo the models were staged without TVs. The loft design actually did make TV placement awkward, but we bought the place anyway... I would definitely not call attention to the fact that that's the only place you think is available, or block the windows.

+1 to the above: remove it. We've got ours upstairs in the bonus room.

Agree on removal. Why call attention to this design flaw? Also, don't assume that your buyers will put a TV in that room anyway.

Absolutely remove it. Some people have small TVs, others move it in a spare bedroom. Your living room will look a lot more attractive and there's no need to point out that TV placement may be a potential problem.

And another vote for removal.

Well, clearly you don't need yet another vote for removing the TV, but here it is anyway. I have the same situation and when I am ready to market my home, I plan to remove my TV and replace it with a chair or bookshelf.

I've noticed that there are rarely TVs in model homes that I've toured. I think there's a reason for that -- no TV means less "stuff" cluttering up the room and nobody has to see awkward cables and wires.
