My 9 inch tv / vcr combo is completely enclosed on 3 sides in a wooden case with about one inch space around it. It also sits on the floor, between the two seats in the front of my van. The wooden enclosure has two round holes on the side about one inch in diameter for the cables to pass through.
It isn't used on every road trip, but occasionally is used for 6 or more hours at a time and it has never had any problems with heat build up.
I think they need some air circulating around them but I know they do not have the same amount of heat generated as they would have several years ago. Electronic components are now made with circuitry that require less current and therefor, generate less heat.
I think your tv will be fine as long as you keep the normail airflow around it clear and unobstructed.
