Will mounting my device behind the TV make it overheat?Updated 5 hours ago
No — in fact, mounting your device behind the TV is often cooler than placing it inside a traditional media cabinet.
Here’s why:
Better airflow: Our open steel designs allow heat from your device to rise and escape freely.
Cooler than cabinets: Media cabinets tend to trap hot air, especially if doors are closed or ventilation is poor. Behind the TV, air circulates naturally, helping devices run cooler.
Modern TVs run cooler: Most modern flat-screen TVs are energy efficient and give off minimal heat, so they don’t “bake” devices mounted behind them.
We’ve tested this with consoles like Xbox and PlayStation in real-world setups — temperatures stayed well within safe operating ranges. For the full data, check out our heat test results:
For best results: Keep all vents unobstructed and make sure they remain clean and free from dust build-up, as dust can restrict airflow and cause heat retention over time.
