Hey, got a new TV, the only place in my room where it really fits at the moment is infront of a radiator. The manual recommends that you dont put it near or above any radiators. Theres about half a foot between the back of the TV and the radiator.
Has anyone ever had any issues or experience with this?

I`d reccomend not getting the screen near a heat source like a rad or direct sunlight.
Electronic hardware isnt designed to be actively heated like that, and will cause issues, hence the warning in the manual.

Surely maybe after 3-5 monitors dying in the same condition you might have stopped to think ohhh its that radiator thats killing them ... not go and try the same again another 10 times? On an extra note when my computer room was the other way around my lc screen was directly above the radiator, used it this way for a about 2 years without problems

I never turn my radiator on. I have 2 CRT's, my pc, amp, mixer and some other shizz, all above/next to the radiotor.
It's a shame really, It's the only convenient place in the room

They shouldnt be put infront of a radiator but if your not going to turn the rad on then it makes no difference obviously.

Ive had a monitor next to a radiator no problems, I think its more common sense. If the radiator is clearly heating up the monitor a lot then dont put the bloody thing next to it.

Ive not had any problems either
(TFT for a year within a foot of a radiator.. CRTs for longer) I also used to keep a laptop on, and in my rucksac...which got quite toasty inside.. that didnt damage the screen either

As i said earlier, Electronic hardware isnt designed to be actively heated like that. That doesnt guarantee there will be problems, and for the most part it will probably be ok, but you do increase the likelyhood of something going wrong.
Personally I`d avoid it, but its up to you.
