LCD or Plasma over a gas fireplace insert?
Pretty much any design show on TV doing a reno on a den or family room will include a TV over a gas fireplace insert. They don’t specify if they are installing LCD or plasma TV though.
I understand that plasma TV’s run hotter, but maybe they’re able to withstand more heat. Perhaps LCD’s might be better because they run cooler and therefore can tolerate more heat.
Must be someone who’s installed dozens of these things or had to service units that have been installed for a couple or few years now.
I’ve installed several hundreds of these things. I would have to say based on my experience it honestly doesn’t matter one or the other.
Reasons why you would want to consider a plasma or LCD….
1.) Does the room have a bunch of natural sunlight comming into it? If so LCD is better because it uses a backlit technolgoy meaning that its pushing light through the screen so when the sun hits it you don’t get a washed out affect.
2.) If you don’t watch much TV in the day time then Plasma is better because it has better black levels than LCD. Blacks look black not grey like they do in LCDs.
If you just want the best go with LCD. You can get a 1080P LCD for a fraction of the cost of Plasma 108OP set. Twice the pixels make for a very nice picture.
Here is an article on putting your tv above a fireplace.
