I'll bet you're asking because you already decided to do this and you 
want some reinforcement ;)

Anyway, cooling electronics is always a good idea for their longevity.  
Whether it's worth the trouble or not is debatable; however, and there's 
always the chance you'll break something doing this (it'll almost 
certainly void whatever warranty you have left).    The fans will 
probably wear out and get noisy before the TV bites the dust.
