There are several things i would check first. 1. Light a fire in your fire place. Give the fire several hours to heat everything in the Flue system to sperating temps. Then using an infrared heat sensor gun shoot the wall in front of your flue location. Ambient temp/static temp will be what your ac is set too. Normally 68 to 75 with out fire place on. If the wall surface is close to that then the flue wont be an issue as long as you dont run a screw or anchor thru it. 2. Heat also rolls uo thebface of the wall from the fire place opening. This heat is the portion i would worrt more about. At a normal burn woth time to get the fireplace heated properly. Place your hand about 8 inches over the top of the fire place opening. If you cant hold your hand there comfortably then your TV will not do well a coupke feet above it. Those are the tests i would do. You can also tape a refrigerator thermometer to the wall in the tv location and run the fire place several hours to check relative temps. Good luck. 2.
