    I'm considering getting a 55" LED TV from Samsung.

    The issue is that I have a TV storage system design for 50". The 55" will leave approx 1cm on either side of the TV (although it will have 40cm+ above the TV).

    Apart from making it difficult to access the side of the TV if I needed are there ventilation issues if the side of the TV is confined like this?

    My other Samsung has ventilation slots on the top, so I imagine this is similar.

    Hi Mr Cheez,

    The issue with a small space at the sides of the TV is connections. The TV doesn't really require a huge amount of ventilation at the sides. All the heat tends to go up so above is a lot more important. LED models don't really generate a huge amount of heat. The new LED models all have the connections at the side, so getting in to plug or unplug cables or USB memory stick etc, may be difficult.

    Hope that helps.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
