TL;DR - My girlfriend and I are finally moving to a new apartment of our own and have booked a 2 bedroom corner unit we really liked. Everything about the apartment is good except the problems we are facing with the living room setup. Can just look at the pics and suggest an ideal placement for it.

Descriptive - I have a 65 inch TV and also a Samsung surround sound setup with rear speaker kits. I'm having a hard time determining what the ideal spot should be for the TV placement. Ideally, the TV would be placed on a TV unit. Might mount it as well depending on the choice of wall I go with. My girlfriend doesn't really care where it goes but I am really particular about the viewing distance, viewing angle and room aesthetics. Her suggestion was mounting it on the corner wall between the 2 window wall sides. I love her but that's the worst idea a guy who's particular about his viewing angles could receive lol. So here are my realistic options(according to the order of the descriptive pictures):-

1. Option 1 - Seems the most logical but the area might feel a bit cramped up due to the the mechanical room on the right side and the Kitchen Island sort of being in the way as well. While the island is not completely in the way, it will be noticeable when you sit and watch the TV.

2. Option 2 -This wall is directly in front of the Kitchen area. The TV will go in between the windows but of course, some portion of the TV will expand into the window area. Those 2 windows give the most amount of natural sunlight so we don't want to shut the blinds for those windows. The proposal is that the windows will always stay open even if the TV goes there but we if we are watching a movie/gaming/it's night time, the blinds will be shut. Lastly, the couch will go directly in front of the kitchen island and the speakers from my surround system will be mounted behind the couch. Probably messes the flow of the room in terms of walkability?

3. Option 3 - This wall is on the right side of the kitchen and can be viewed when entering the apartment. The alignment here is the problem. Since the wall goes all the way to our 2nd bedroom door and the kitchen area as well, the TV can't be placed at the center wall between the 2 windows. It has to be placed on the left window of the wall so that it gives a direct viewing angle from my couch. The flow of the room will be there in this placement strategy but at the cost of uneven wall placement. The window here doesn't give much sunlight so we don't mind keeping it shut the entire time. The right window can stay open.

What do you guys think?
