Tech @ Home: Mounting a Flat Panel TV Above Your Fireplace
Although it looks nice, mounting a flat panel TV above your fireplace can take years off of its life if you aren't careful. Aside from possible smoke damage, your new LCD or plasma screen was built to run at a specific temperature (check your owners manuals for exact specs, but usually between 32-100°F), so watching a movie and building a roaring fire can actually damage the components inside your TV if it gets too hot.
Thankfully, all is not lost.
How-To: Properly Place Your TV For Optimal Viewing
Before you drop all that money on a 46-inch flat panel HDTV you found on sale, maybe you should make sure there's enough room in your studio apartment for that bad boy. What, you think that just because it's flat you can fit it anywhere? As fun as it may seem to turn your apartment into a full-fledged movie theater, you should know that there are optimal viewing distances that you should adhere to.
Would You Watch TV In Your Shower?
There's been a tremendous influx of TVs that were designed to live in or around water recently. From Inflatable Widescreen Outdoor Theater Systems to TVs designed to fit in bathroom mirrors and of course the "Weatherproof Monitor" from Florida-based Iizell, (seen at right) which is an LCD that can be submerged a full meter deep and costs a hooting $11,020 for screens sized 26 to 55 inches.
I happen to be a firm believer in a relaxing, commercial free bath, but as Yumsugar pointed out, the waterproof TV might be ideal for a stockbroker addicted to that lovely little ticker.
