If the room is large, you could do a corner fireplace and it would be cozy, but it does eat up lots of space. Also, you have to consider the traffic pattern in the room, so you dont' have people tripping over the hearth.

We are planning to build a midwestern home and adding a built in corner fireplace. Good idea or bad?

Pretty much any design show on TV doing a reno on a den or family room will include a TV over a gas fireplace insert. They don't specify if they are installing LCD or plasma TV though.
I understand that plasma TV's run hotter, but maybe they're able to withstand more heat. Perhaps LCD's might be better because they run cooler and therefore can tolerate more heat.
Must be someone who's installed dozens of these things or had to service units that have been installed for a couple or few years now.
I've installed several hundreds of these things. I would have to say based on my experience it honestly doesn't matter one or the other.
Reasons why you would want to consider a plasma or LCD….
1.) Does the room have a bunch of natural sunlight comming into it? If so LCD is better because it uses a backlit technolgoy meaning that its pushing light through the screen so when the sun hits it you don't get a washed out affect.
2.) If you don't watch much TV in the day time then Plasma is better because it has better black levels than LCD. Blacks look black not grey like they do in LCDs.
If you just want the best go with LCD. You can get a 1080P LCD for a fraction of the cost of Plasma 108OP set. Twice the pixels make for a very nice picture.
Here is an article on putting your tv above a fireplace.

There is also a odor, almost like when you turn on the furnace for the first time.
The popping sounds stem form irregular power flow. Check the amps coming into your home. If my hunch is right, other appliances of yours may be in grave danger. No need to mention fire hazard

What followed the invention of fire? The party. That’s because once man had a warm, inviting place to gather, everyone wanted to congregate in his cave. Not much has changed today except the quality of the fire pit. This one is made of heavy-gauge solid copper by artisans in Turkey and features a stylish hand-hammered rim and rolled edge. It sits securely in a cast iron stand and can safely withstand high heat. The cast iron grill is ideal for rustling up dinner as well. Measures 24″ x 12″ high fully assembled. Note: Due to the size of this item, we’re not able to offer our red gift box. Shipping details: A $10 shipping surcharge will be added to this product at checkout. Copper fire pit lid and spark screen also available for purchase separately. A great gift idea from RedEnvelope.
