false chimeny breast - inset plasma options, which method?

[FluffyKeith]

Hi

I'm planning on the false chimney breast but the Panasonic spec says 10cm around the screen.

Most instalations I've seen here create an inset box that the tv sits in - the box having the appropriate spacing round it.

What about no box but instead a hole that is tighter to the screen - thus the heat from the screen goes up the inside perhaps to a vent at the top of the wall. Has anyone tried this approach and if so are there pictures, what about heat, etc. and if no one has tried it, why not?

cheers

Keith
