I walked up close to my 54" flat screen last night and could feel the heat coming from the screen... was suprised at how warm the screen was when I touched it... now that I realize what a little oven

vents the John, Yes, they can get toasty, but unless you have the TV mounted inside a cabinet just barely big enough for it I wouldn't worry about it. If it's out in the open , on a stand or hung on

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

It is pretty noticable, and it does seem to kick off some good heat. When I switched to a 50" Energy Star rated plasma from a 10 yr. old 32" tube tv, I swore there was a noticably lower utility bill,

Interesting. My IR thermometer says the screen on the LCD monitor before me is 82 - 86 deg F. Other, non-electric objects on my desk are 73 deg. Bob K Aberdeen, WA ___________________________________

Heat coming from the front of the TV is from the lamp. Not the lamp running warm but the infrared component of the light. Fans in the back won't help this. I'd also assume the engineers put enough ve

Cooler is indeed better. Component MBTF drops remarkably fast as average temperatures rise - a 10 degree C increase can reduce the expected lifespan of electronics by well more than half. Temperatur

I dunno. Do you really think it's wise to buy from a company that makes statements like: "3. No Batteries - Unlike other home electricity monitors, TED's optional wireless display comes with a recha

I agree. But that makes it all the stranger that they don't mention it. The Kill-a-Watt device does. So then the bit on the web site that says I can (one of the ten reasons for buying their unit), i
