A Gateway 26" LCD monitor/TV is getting warm. I measure 115oF (45oC) with a
contact-type thermocouple sensor attached to a DMM.

I'v been considering adding a couple of small 12v box-type vent fans to
get
rid of some of the heat from the active components in the back of the
unit.

Should I be concerned? What temp is safe for such a display?

Probably not. Do you smell anything funky ... like burning insulation?
