Heat Sources and Plasma TVs

Next subject regarding where to put it is Sources. Before we go any further you will harm your TV if you get any Sauce on it, but I was talking about light and heat sources. We will cover heat first as this is more simple.

Simply put don't put it next to a heat source. If the Plasma or LCD TV gets too hot several things will happen. First the processor will be working at higher temperatures and is more likely to stall causing the TV to temporarily go blank and reset and can also shorten the life of the processor and other components.

Probably the most important reason to not put your 50 inch Samsung (or whatever) by a heat source is because if it goes wrong and an engineer comes to visit they will probably blame the fault on your positioning of the TV. I must say though that I have had no choice on occasion to put LCD's and Plasma's next to radiators and so far have not had a single problem. If you have no choice but to site yours near a radiator or similar then leave the radiator off as much as possible and if it goes wrong move it somewhere else and then call out the engineer.
