I’ve never really been a fan of thin technology like this. Even laptops, the hardware needs room to breath. I’d rather have a thicker TV so it can breath. Just like the firetv sticks, those things really heat up.

Don’t run them at full brightness and you should be ok.

Wow. The “designed to fail” backdrop on the video says a lot about this. They’re aiming for clicks, rather than rigorous testing.

I’m not at all surprised that TVs aren’t designed to be used 24/7 by residential users. And I’m not at all surprised that running them for 10,000 hours straight causes a lot of problems for them.

And I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out that overworking them in the short term like that isn’t the same as using them regularly and normally for 6 years. Some of those things might still happen, but some of it is death from overheating.
