Q. I want to mount it above my fireplace. What do I need to do, and what tools will I need to have to do it?
Answer
Aren't you asking for trouble when you use the fireplace and the heat rising onto the LCD?
Furthermore the electric cord and the connection to the cable or satelite will also be exposed to some of the heat generated. Are you really lacking in space so that you can't put the television on an ordinary wall?
Other things to consider when chosing a wall to place the LCD. You need to be able to stop the natural sunlight glare that would detract from viewing the picture. Make sure you have the electrical outlet close to the television and other devices that you are using (and don't have too many devices using the same outlet)
Make sure that the mount is strong enough to carry the weight, we test our mount by having a man hang from the mount.
Other considerations: some consideration is given to external stereo speakers. Make sure the sound sounds balanced from the spot that you are most likely going to view the picture.
If you still are going to drill into the fireplace stone wall make sure the holes are going to be as centered (not on the edge of a rock) as possible. Use a carbide bit in a hammer drill device. (Cool the bit every so often by water and wear eye and ear protection)

Is a baseboard heater or electric fireplace under my new Plasma TV going to cause damage and which is better?
owen h
I live in Mass. and its just getting too cold for my space heater in my bedroom. I can install a baseboard heater but the only wall it can go on is right under my Plasma TV.
The electric fireplace would also go right under the Plasma but since the TV is mounted it would vent out the heat approx. 18in in front instead of right under it like the baseboard heater.
I know heat next to electronics is not a good idea and i think the electric fireplace would be safer for the TV since the heat is farther away. I will still need an additional heat source from a space heater since they dont punch out much heat but thats ok.
thanks a lot for any help...i need it!
Answer
The electric fireplace would probably be best you are right perhaps you could put a small fan in front of it to redirect the heat away from the TV.and also this might help heat the rest of the area around the room.
