Can I Mount My TV Above The Fireplace?


Recommended Posts

When we had a gas fitter around we were advised that it is NOT a good idea as the heat will damage the TV. I said we dont use our fire and we've now actually had it capped off when we had our new boiler installed and that fitter also agreed that the tv should not be above a gas fire.

Lcd = liquid cystal display, do you think its a good idea to have heat(which rises if you know physics) going into a LIQUID crystal display?

 

I think it actually has more to do with the extra stress put on electrical components when they are too hot. That's why a crucial part of design is to have sufficient airflow, ventilation and cooling. Putting the tv over a fire just means it'll have a shorter lifespan because components are much more likely to fail.
