As ChaosAgent said you might run into the issue of being forced to sit too close to the screen to take advantage of the larger size screen. A couple of friends of mine got in competition to have the biggest screen possible in their houses and both are now fighting the issue of trying to get far enough away to actually use the large screen.

I don't have a wall space to mount even if I could. I could take out the dinette or the sofa or the two recliners to build an entertainment center, BUT I wouldn't have a straight line of sight to the TV without twisting/turning. Personally, I like to sit/recline with the TV directly in front of me.
The only way to do this, is to set the TV on a table that can be moved. That way, it can be stored out of the way (or as much out of the way as possible), and still be moved for viewing from the recliners or sofa.
This table would have shelves below the TV for other electronics. One problem with a moving table is the wires/cables laying on the floor. I will have to figure out a way for them to lay flatly/smoothly so they won't be a trip hazard.
Thanks for the comments/suggestions.
Kinda defeats the purpose of having a thin profiled TV...
Any table/entertainment center etc. would have to be wide and deep enough for non-tip-over stability. An RV's floor space is a precious commodity and IMHO should be used for more practical purposes...
I like bananadanna's idea on a modest size front projector system, which could be used indoors or out...

I often paddle whitewater with amateur groups and we make videos of our runs. When we paddled the "Deliverance" river, the Chatooga, we had a lot of river footage. After some laptop editing we borrowed a large television from the park ranger and set up some chairs after dark. I think we had about half the park bring their chairs over to see the river carnage that night. What a hoot! A projector/screen combo would have been ideal for the large crowd.
My "home theater" distance rule-of-thumb is that if you sit closer than the screen diagonal you might be able to tell the difference between a 720 and a 1080 display. We're about 96" away from our 78" screen at home and its terrific for sports and movies. Commercials with 60" hamburgers can be a little overwhelming.
