I didn’t ask him, I just did the thing. Like hell, I got tired of some of the buttons randomly not working.

Now every button works perfectly, plus I did a little modding to make it work at a broader angle…

    Honestly it might be old enough you’d get your money back in lower power bills if you get a new one (not for features, just newer LED/OLED tech).

    My power bill spiked in covid because our 2008 samsung was on nearly all the time, and it drastically dropped when we switched to an LG oled.

      Meh, the big chunk of the power bill around here is the air conditioner, refrigerator, deep freezer, mini fridge, and stove/oven. Our electric bill at worst might get close to $120 a month, more like $80 a month during the more seasonably comfortable months.

      I don’t think a newer TV is gonna put a significant enough dent in that to even bother, but whenever this TV does happen to go out, we have like 3 newer flatscreen TVs put up in the closets that only need feet or a stand or something.
