I'm thinking of mounting a plasma tv on the wall above a fireplace (where lots of people hang mirrors). Is the heat from the fireplace going to cause a problem for the tv?
Sorry i dont have a propper answer for you but you could, maybe fix a heat shield above the fire,you know the hammered copper type ? It should reduce a lot of the heat going straight up. just an idea
This is not the best place to put an expensive bit of kit and apart from the heat it could be affected by smoke. It depends on the type of fire, gas would probably be ok. Hang a thermometer on the wall and see if it is within the manufacturers limits.
