We would like to install a 42" plasma TV above a natural gas fireplace insert. We are specifically looking at the Mendota D40 insert which has a BTU range of 6,500-40,000. Having no experience with gas inserts, we are concerned that heat from the insert may damage the TV. Has anyone attempted a similar arrangement? I'm trying to figure out if this set-up would leave us with a melted TV and more importantly, create a fire hazard.

Thanks for any experience/help you can share with us!
