Hi Nick - The Q80A TV will not run hot; if you should ever experience any heat issues with this unit, please contact Samsung Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG / Available 8AM – 12AM EST 7 days a week.
Please also keep in mind the following when installing your TV:
- Do not place this apparatus near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
- When you install your TV, maintain a distance of at least 4 inches between the TV and other objects (walls, cabinet sides, etc.) to ensure proper ventilation. If the TV does not have proper ventilation, it may increase the TV's internal temperature. ^Gina
