My Sony Bravia HDTV is giving off heat, is this normal?
Dylan asked:
Obviously it needs to stay cool, but it’s giving off some pretty intense heat from the top, enough so to warm my room in the winter. Ok, well maybe “intense” is a little over the top, but if my door is closed and the TV is on while I’m in the room the room becomes so warm after a couple hours that I need to open the room to cool myself off.

The room is around 12′ x 14′ x 12′ and the set is a 26″ widescreen flat-panel is this heat normal for HDTV sets?
Yes this is normal they just use alot of power and heat is given off its nothing to worry about just make sure you dont block up where the heat is coming from. It like laptops they give off heat, my HD tv does the same too.
I know of a Magnavox LCD 42″ HDTV that uses 260 Watts. That’s the equivalent of about 4 [four] 60 Watt light bulbs inside your TV. One 60 Watt bulb is too hot for me to touch.
Having the TV be pretty warm is normal, but it shouldn’t be burning up.
