Many homeowners today are mounting LCD and plasma televisions above their hearth. But is that smart? Actually, with all the heat a fireplace makes, is it OK to do that? The short answer is – yes. However, to ensure your television isn’t damaged from the warmth, care must be taken to ensure heat generated by the fireplace is redirected away from television.

There are several ways to do this work, such as installing a proper mantel and building an alcove for the television. In adding, it’s very important to ensure minimum clearances. The infographic below was designed to help clear the confusion.

A flat panel TV above your fireplace is very cool until you try and hide the cables or wires .  The fireplace prevents running the cables straight down the wall and the stud framing prevents running the cables laterally inside the partition.  If your fireplace is on an interior partition, you may be able to go up the partition, however, that doesn't work on exterior ramparts.  The top plate of the wall blocks access to the attic and the roof prevents drilling down from above.

The typical solution is to cut access holes in the walls and run the lines.  In our older habitat, the walls are wood paneling which has been covered in heavy wallpaper and adorned.  Not an easy thing to repair without obvious blemishes outstanding.  A second option is to use the mantel to hide the cables and that is the option I decide.  To my wonder, this worked very well.

This instructable will show you how to use a plank, a hinge and a magnet to run cables down to the floor left of the fireside.  I also discuss alternatives to accomplish the same thing without using a pivot.  Optimistically, this will provide you with some good ideas for your home.
