Got it installed with powerflue, and concrete sheeting (I think) fireproof board around it. We followed the Escea instructions to the letter, saying how high above the TV needed to be. Now that it is installed, we're quite happy. The area above the fireplace only gets really mildly warm. You can easily rest your hand there. The fans in our unit are good enough, and are pushing the majority of the heat into the room, so our TV wouldn't be much above room temperature (maybe 26/27 degrees) which iis cooler than the TV experiences in summer (30+ degrees). Having said that maybe TV's don't like being cycled from cold (heater off) to warm (heater on) many times during winter. Anyway, we're a fan (pun intended) of the Escea heater we got. Not a fan of the price (!). It pushes heat away from the wall nicely.. HTH.. Re: TV mounted above gas fireplace yay or nay? 10Jul 06, 2018 11:49 pm sxwallac We have an Escea DL1100 fireplace.

Re: TV mounted above gas fireplace yay or nay? 11Jul 07, 2018 12:03 am TVs will survive above the fireplace. However Tv's should be mounted at eye level when you're sitting down rather than you looking up. If the height doesn't bother you, go for it. Re: TV mounted above gas fireplace yay or nay? 12Oct 15, 2018 11:21 pm Generally not an issue with heat, the brick wall won't conduct the heat and as most heat is radiated, the TV again will not receive this heat directly. So long as all wiring and cabling rules are followed in terms of cabling to that TV, it can be done safely. In terms of looks, some people find the fireplace is distracting as nearby.

Optimal TV height is where your eye level while sitting down is exactly 1/3rd of the way up the TV height. For a 75inch TV this means the bottom of the TV needs to be about 80cm off the ground.
