Awesome!

If your located within the United States there isn't anyplace that I know of that sells replacement screens. It's typically not economical here.

Did you check for image with the flashlight test?

Unfortunately I can't help much, besides thick layer first, the thin layers are usually notched or keyed in some way to only fit in one direction. You'll just have to experiment.

I always have an interest, but unfortunately not enough time. Typically the little bit of spare time I can find goes to fixing other peoples stuff.

LED replacement strips are typically available as a pre-made set.

It could be more reliable sure.

@@jeffescortlx Only reliable, but not necessarily with a better picture or richer colors, etc. I know the resolution would be the same, but what you are saying is it would only improve the longevity/reliable of the LEDs?

@@WilliamEllison the LED's don't have control over the quality of the picture. Just brightness and white color temperature.

@@jeffescortlx ok i see.

No, it's not a smart TV.

Your right. I usally make a point in TV's like this model with severe LED failure to replace all the LED's. Looks like I missed this time. This has been my bedroom TV. I have the backlight set to minimum. So far it's still going.

@@jeffescortlx have to say you are lucky. had at one time, i thought was i losing my mind with this model ,where everything was repaired and tested, everything looked good , then it would fail in a few days or it would fail as you placed the repaired strips back in the set , new subscriber. like your content keep up the good work .

@@raydabreau4703 I've had my fair share of chronic LED failure. Some models just have bum leads.

Even some small towns usually have a recycling center. Or computer repair shops that offer electronic repair or recycling. That's where I find mine.

That would work if I didn't live in the hind end of the known universe..... LOL. Back years ago I did repairs on TVs/VCRs and other electronics. I've actually been watching you for the cluster repairs, I still do mechanical work and having the ability to do those repairs without shipping the cluster out would be handy.

In some models yes. But generally good overall.

ah right. I have another brand TV. An LG 37Le5300 which is 8 years old and always have used the brightness conservatively and it still works fine

@@maicod it's hit and miss. In some models the LED's will run forever no matter what the brightness is set to, while a different model from the same manufacturer will fail no matter what.

I see :|
