TV operating temperature

Quite simply plasma and LCD TVs get very hot. Especially on the top edge but generally all over as well. Out of all the large screens I have checked (and i have checked a fair few) I don't think it is possible to cause a significant, serious burn but they do get as hot as say a radiator.

If a child were to touch the hottest part they would probably instinctively let go quick enough that no real harm would be done. But just suppose the TV were to fall or perhaps a circumstance were to arise that the child could not remove their hand (or other part of their body) then some large screens are hot enough to cause a nasty burn. I cannot really picture a 'highly likely' scenario where this would happen but it is worth being aware of if you have children or if perhaps you are using your LCD set in a public/work place.
