My Samsung 52" lcd is 18 inches above the top of my zero clearance fireplace. It is 7 inches above the mantle. The mantle sets out 6 inches beyond the face of the fireplace. I never use the fireplace. I am now looking at putting in a flush faced natural gas insert. It will have a blower and burn natural gas. I think I will be ok, but would like to know if anyone else has their flat panel above their fire place. Any heat issues with the tv? Also please tell me of your experience with your gas insert and the cost of the unit and installation. Thanks.
