When using a monitor as a battlemat, is there a concern about overheating? The vents are set up for a horizontal air circulation.
I've put a wooden surround on mine so unassisted airflow is limited, so I added a couple of inexpensive USB powered fans mounted on the surround (powered from a USB port on the TV). I haven't had issues with ambient temperatures in the low 80's (F) - but I probably wouldn't be too confident in 90+ temps!
Thanks for the tips on the fans and overheating. I went and talked to a carpenter today. We went over some designs and I should get my quote back soon. I decided to go with a 43" TV

Heres some pictures of my completed table.
I love it and couldn't imagine playing without it now.
Nice Seya. Looks well done. Hope you are enjoying it!
Man, great looking table, Seya!
That’s fantastic!
Hey all new here...I am trying to do the same thing (using FG as a battlemap) How are you outputting to a tv so that only the map shows and not all the other "DM" information?
Thanks!
Welcome to the forums.
Start a second instance of FG on the same computer. "Join Game" with a server address of localhost Share the map. Use masking, whatever you want. The second instance is a player instance, but doesn't need an additional license as localhost connection doesn't need one.
