Mmm, mine was a little closer than that. It developed black horizontal lines towards the top of the screen. If I squeezed on the right hand side (where the fireplace is) it would light up again. Eventually it stopped working. In hindsight it may have been due to the heat. Got a new TV but no more fires in that fireplace.
 
I have a Inverter Midea Split AC 9000BTU in my bedroom. Works like a dream. When I bought my house the AC was here. I Have been staying here for 4 years now and not 1 issue. I do get my local AC guys to come service the unit once a year just before the summer heat.

I clean the filters like maybe once every 2 to 3 months.

EDIT: In summer it uses about 3 to 4 units on the prepaid when it runs throughout the night

do you wash your filters ? i used to but then i found out my vacuum cleaner does a good job
 
Is the AC direct 3.3k price for installation worth it?

Think it's time to replace the 12 year old aircons (serviced once in my lifetime) with some inverter ones.

Also to find a solution for the three other bedrooms, where it's difficult to put the split unit inside on the external wall (due to curtains being there). Not sure putting the unit over the bed is a good idea?

Is the only solution then to put a ceiling vent ? Maybe get one bigger aircon unit i can place on the patio roof and then feed the three bedrooms?

Only issue with the duct type AC's is the temp you set is the same for every room. I found that in my office I like it cold whereas my wife's office is set differently. The demon spawn also doesnt like the cold.

How much distance between the curtains and ceilings..? You probably have more than enough room for the inside unit to be mounted there..

You can have it over your bed, whichever unit you get should have the ability to have the vents blow up and away to avoid the majority of air blowing directly on top of you..

run your AC on "turbo cool" mode to keep it cool when your fireplace it lit - problem solved
