It’d probably be fine. I had LCD touch screens in a machine that got installed in a lot of garages at my last job. Above 105_F ambient they would start to wash out white. Never really got bothersome till about 120_F. Below around 55\*F ambient they would start to get dark. Can you start a fire and mount a thermometer above the fireplace? See how hot it gets? If it doesn’t go much above 100 you’ll be fine. ---

90-100 is fine for a lcd, just try and keep it below 150+… thats not cool. They do get hot, and im sure the hotter they run the quicker they will go, but in 5 years are you going to care anyways? Everyone will have a better tv than you and you are going to want a new one… Id do it without question… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-heat-sensitive-are-lcds/37072.md?page=1)
