ARMANI Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I've recently redecorated my house and was wondering if its possible to place my lcd tv above fireplace without the heat 'harming' it in long run? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alternageek Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 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.

iamdonkey Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Bloke Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
