TV near radiator

[peter77]

Hi all I'm thinking of having a new radiator fitted but the thing is it's gonna be right next to my tv about 3inches next to tv. Now will this cause major problems to my tv even though rads are only on for a few hours and some times not on at all

once on and hot, tv will run hotter than normal as well vented dont mean cooked.

Stick a thermometer in the tv on the radiator side then report how many degrees you read.
If you read below 30C (tv off) there are no problem.
If you read more than 30C (tv off) there could be problem in the future.

Oh yes the plastic case will squeak all day long, especially if the tv has been manufactured from 2000 till today (low quality plastic)

Its not a good idea to have a radiator that much close to your tv... :P

Or dont put it so close to the tv,or even better move the tv......................
