Hi
I would like to wall mount a 436XDE (SWMBO is not keen as she thinks they stick out too far from the wall.. huh!) anyway... our cunning plan is to build a false wall, just to the correct depth that would mean that the wall would line up flush with the front of the screen.. this should achieve a couple of things... 1. It should look as sexy as a sexy thing 2. It will allow me to easily run cables to plasma, speakers, dialogue speaker etc...
My concerns with this plan are.... could the plasma overheat as there would be a buildup of trapped warm air within the false wall (I don't really think that it would rise drammatically but I'd like to get some feedback from the experts) which may mean that the plasma fan(s) are only circulating warm air back into the plasma innards.. Also dust, I imagine that over a period of time there would be a dust buildup inside that I wouldn't be able to get to and clean regularly... again am I worrying too much?
I've seen some pictures on these forums where members have actually fitted their plasmas above radiators and fires and so I may be just worrying too much. I expect that I may reduce the overall life expectancy of the plasma with my idea of sinking it but as long as its not reduced by a massive amount then I would be willing to take a slight hit in the life span of said plasma... after all I'll be after bigger and better not *too* many years after that won't I?
Thanks in advance for any input/sugggestions that you may have.
Regards
Dave.
