The lower 2/3 of the rear monitor housing is much cooler to the touch, and the heat is concentrated really in the uppermost 3 inches of the case. I'm thinking that heat builds up in that zone due to the small size of the ventilation slits at the top rear, and also because there are no vent slits at the bottom -- only along the sides. With the end result that there is not enough airflow through the case, and hot air concentrates at the top.
A small exhaust fan mounted up there would alleviate this. Do you think there is any risk of damaging the panel by introducing (slight) forced air flow through the case, and are there any other considerations? Or is the heat at the top even anything to worry about .. I gotta admit I'm a little paranoid about babying this thing, since it's only under a refurb warranty.
I doubt that's going to damage anything. And the heat at the top probably isn't something to worry about. If you get the panel staining at the top, cooling won't help.
Thanks and I'm grateful for all of your help. I believe I have made the best LCD choice possible for my needs, due to your efforts in establishing this thread. :beer: :thumbsup:
Glad I could help.
