I am guessing your talking about the screen... RP the heat comes out the back, the screens are cool (room temp). LCD's/Plasma screens do heat up & are warm/hot.

Is the tv wall mounted???? or close to the wall????
the sony may need more room in the back to vent, all lcd's & plasmas need room in the back to vent heat.
