Will heat from fireplace harm lcd if mounted above?
I have a ventless firelog in my fireplace and would like to mount an lcd tv above it. There is a mantel that is 8 inches deep. If I mount the tv above it will the heat generated by the firelog harm the tv?
That may be a lot to ask of any TV. This could cause warpage of the screen if the heat is excessive.
Not only do you have the heat rising in front of the TV but also heat from the wall behind. TV's, especially LCD TVs, like cool air circulation.
I would test the area first with a outdoor thermometer hung above the fire place. Then check the max operating temp of the TV your want to place there.
