Will it fit / 86-inch above a fireplace

Will an 86-inch TV fit above a fireplace?
Without its stand, a 86-inch TV here measures 75.6 to 75.9 in wide and 43.4 to 43.6 in tall, according to the makers' spec pages. A clear patch of wall at least 76 x 44 in above the mantel takes any of the 11; the narrowest, the LG 86UA7700PUA, needs 75.6 x 43.4 in.
Every 86-inch TV with a published body size
These are the dimensions "without stand" that each maker prints — the box that hangs on the wall. They are listed narrowest first. LG publishes a full width, height and depth for its 86-inch sets on the pages read for this site; every 86-inch model on the site is included.

Width and height on the wall
The spread between the narrowest and widest 86-inch body is 0.3 in: the LG 86UA7700PUA at 75.6 in against the LG 86QNED85TUA at 75.9 in. A geometric 86-inch 16:9 picture is 75 x 42.2 in, and the bodies differ from it by their frames and by how each maker rounds its class size. If a chimney breast or built-in shelving limits the width, measure between the obstructions and compare with the width column, not with the screen size.
Height matters as much above a mantel, because the TV's bottom edge has to clear the shelf and anything that stands on it. The tallest 86-inch body here is 43.6 in and the shortest 43.4 in. Add the gap you want between mantel and TV to that figure to get the wall height you need below the ceiling or crown moulding. If the wall is shorter than about 43.4 in, a 85-inch set (bodies up to 43.5 in tall) is the next size down.
What 86 inches means over a mantel
At 85 inches the TV is often wider than the chimney breast it hangs on, overhanging onto the alcoves at each side by a few inches. That is fine for the picture, but the mount itself must still land entirely on solid masonry or studs, so check where the breast's edges are before marking holes. These bodies weigh 74.1 to 128.1 lb, a three-person lift at height.
How far it stands off the wall
The thinnest body at this size is the LG 86QNED85TUA at 1.2 in deep; the thickest is the LG 86UA7700PUA at 2.4 in. On a wall mount the TV sits that far out plus the mount's own profile, which the mount maker prints on its box — a fixed or "low-profile" plate adds the least, a tilting or full-motion arm the most. Over a mantel, a tilting mount is the usual way to angle a high screen back toward the seats.
Weight on the chimney wall
Without the stand these sets weigh 74.1 to 128.1 lb, with a median of 100.3 lb; the heaviest is the LG 86QNED90TUA. A mount's rating has to cover the TV's weight, and a full-motion arm needs more margin than a fixed plate because the load sits further from the wall. Chimney breasts are often brick or stone; fix the mount with the masonry anchors its maker supplies for that wall, and keep drill holes away from the flue.
Neighbouring sizes
One size down, the 85-inch bodies here are 73.9–75.1 in wide (85-inch above a fireplace). One size up, the 98-inch bodies are 85.3–86.4 in wide and up to 49.8 in tall (98-inch above a fireplace). From a seat 11 ft 8 in away a 86-inch screen fills the SMPTE 30° view; mounting it high doesn't change that distance, but the screen's centre ends up above eye level, so measure from where you sit.
