  1. no its not safe, trust me!!!
  2. hmm, that is an interesting question and I wish I had that problem (broke grad-student). But, the answer might be useful one day so I'm going to leave my mark so I can come back later. Good luck.
  3. If it's over the mantle, not close to the fire box, where heat can damage it.
  4. My husband said to tell you that the heat would definitely affect the TV.
  5. It will very likely cause problems. Plus, you will be distracted from the TV if the flames are crackling right below it.
  6. as long as it dosent get hot, your fine
  7. My LCD has been above my fireplace for years with no damage. remember that your TV will be several feet from the fireplace. Click the link here to see mine. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1055/1013884847_2267c0a28e.jpg
