The wife and I are looking at buying a new house. The house my wife loves has one drawback...the only place in the family room for a decent TV is a flat screen of some sort above the fireplace. Where I'm going here is the relative heat tolerance of LCD vs. Plasma sets. It's going to get warm up there. Not blazing hot, but likely 60-70 C, if I had to take a stab at it.

Does anyone have any clue as to where the heat level will damage/shorten the life of either set, and does anyone have any experience mounting either set over a fireplace, and how did it go? I'd hate to write off the house, but I'd also hate to fry a TV inside of 12 months.

If the heat ranges are what you say, you will be fine on install above fireplace. I do it all the time. If you need advice Private message me.
