Things To Consider When Mounting A Plasma Or Lcd Tv Over The Fireplace
So, there is no better place to mount the plasma TV but, above the fireplace. Mounting the Plasma TV above the fireplace can be a great space saver and at the same time will look attractive too. However, there are some things that should be kept in consideration before putting the plasma TV above the fireplace.
It is not advisable to run a plasma TV to run for a long time if the temperature around it is above 32 degrees centigrade. The heat could be either coming from the fireplace or radiating through the chimney. The LCD TV has its own cooling system; however, the outside heat will force the TV to work harder to cool itself and therefore resulting in shortening the life span of the TV gradually. In case, the LCD TV is not switched on, while the fire is burning in the fireplace, the heat will not harm it at all. For people living in the places where there is cold, this might not be a good idea.
A mount has to be nailed into the studs on the wall, as the LCD is a heavy piece of equipment. We need to make sure that the mount is firmly placed into the stud or else in no time the LCD would crash to the floor. When the LCD is place on the mount, brackets that are attached to the back of the LCD which ensure the safety of the LCD. The mount supports the weight of the LCD, while the studs support the weight of both LCD and the mount. There are mounts which are designed to change the angle of view of the television. These mounts are no different from the regular mounts except for a mechanical arm, when the LCD is placed on the arm. It enables to change the angle of view. The only drawback of this design is that the LCD will project out from the wall more than before which will eat up some space.
Some people are of the view that placing the TV above the fireplace can be too high. Even though, the Plasma TV generally have a 160 degrees viewing angle, the tilted wall mounts are available in the market which allows the TV to tilt up to 15 to 20% vertically and you can have a better view of your Plasma without hurting your neck and eyes.
