I am close to purchasing a 7UY. I would very much prefer to attach it to the wall over my fireplace.
I put one of those indoor / outdoor electronic temperature probes in the spot where the screen would be and it registered a high temp of 115 degrees. The 7UY specs say a high operating temp of 104.
The highest temp would clearly be right at the bottom of the panel, right where the rising heat would hit it, which I feel would be different than the panel operating in a room where the temp was 115.
Do you think the molding of the screen would absorb / dissipate enough heat so that the internal temp would stay below 104?
What if I installed a home made heat shield below the unit? Possibly a piece of metal the same width and depth and color as the monitor and attached via a non-conductive join. Would that do the trick?
Maybe I am just reaching here, if so please keep the flames to a minimum. (non pun intended) I just really want this panel to go there.
Any help, especially first hand knowledge experience with something like this, is extremely appreciated.
Thanks.
