If it gets that hot there is something wrong. I just bought the liner insulation to put on mine and a block off plate will be installed instead of the rock wool. Mine gets to 90 degrees tops the way it sits and will be less with the liner insulated.
They generate enough heat on there own to kill themselves. They don’t need any help.

We won’t do an install over any FP, unless it is capped off and not in use.
LCD’s & plasmas get very hot on their own, additional heat could cause part/pcb failure inside the set. Soot & heat will also distort the glass display, and cause problems between the layers of glass that are the screen assembly. Plus the PCB’s that are attached to the display from the rear of the TV, as well as the fans and motors. These conditions could void a warranty/service contract.
Better to stick with the Norman Rockwell over the FP, and find another spot for the set.

Amen.

In 3 -5 years, when your picture quality is craptastic, due to PCB and/or a compromised screen assembly(multiple glass levels), due to soot, ash. etc, and you call for service, and are told that a new replacement panel is going to be $1500-$4000 +, IF it's still available (I have brand new LCD's & PDP's that I can't get parts/support/service info on, let alone the other stuff), what are you going to do?
I've been in this business for 25 years. I know my stuff.
My 2 cents.
burntime said:I am going to put a 52 inch lcd over mine, here is my setup. Excuse the mess, cartoons on of course. I think this just screams for a big tv over the mantle! For the record I built the mantle from scratch and covered the brick with the ledgestone.
I think you should wall mount the LCD where you currently have the TV. I personally do not like the looks of electronics mounted on brick/stonework. In addition, I would not like to look at a non-operating stove in the summer.
