TVs are not heat resistant, but they do have optimal operating temperatures that if exceeded, can shorten what should be a lively and reliably long life. Worse, if the soot from the fire gets inside the TV, it will damage it beyond repair.If you don't actually use the fireplace, that will not be an issue but ther are other issues you will need to consider. The LG 4K UHD HDR Smart LED TV - 55" Class (54.6" Diag), Model # 55UJ6300, has an operating temperature of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), so if you use the fireplace, you'll need to measure the temperature for where you intend to mount the TV to determine if the heat will be a factor or not, but keep in mind that you also have to consider the soot from the fireplace. Bottom line is that you may not be able to watch TV and have a fire going at the same time. If you don't use the fireplace, mounting it up and out of the way above a fireplace seems logical, convenient, and undeniably cool. However, there are serious issues with such placement. Ideally, the TV should be mounted at eye level to prevent straining your neck and getting a sore neck from staring up at the screen. If you're planning on watching the TV occasionally, that might not be an issue, but if this is your main TV and you're going to be watching it more than a few minutes at a time, that is something you'll need to consider. That issue can be remedied by using a tilting wall mount so you can tilt the TV down to avoid neck strain. This will also take care of the off-axis issue. LED LCD TVs don't look that great when viewed off-axis. This TV is a an IPS panel which gives you a wider viewing angle, but depending on just how much mounting the TV takes it off-axis will be something else you need to consider. There are other issues, but if you are having the mounting done professionally, the installers will be able to advise you on those issues...^IFV
