Can you still use a wood burning fireplace if you have a television set mounted on the wall over it?

We have an LCD T.V. mounted over the fireplace. I’ve never started a fire because I’m concerned that the heat might have some effect on the T.V. I know that it’s not just drywall behind the T.V., the fireplace is made of cement blocks (I think, either that or brick). Either way, do either of those materials conduct any kind of heat and would you start a fire in the fireplace? (Not as opposed to other places.)
