Re: Seiki SE322FS lcd tv powers on fine but no backlight

ok but i havent really come upon any lcd tv that had bad ccfl lamps.....have had damaged lamps but not ones that went bad...........

so why does it seem led lamps in tvs seem to burn out so fast?....arent leds suppose to last 25,000 hours?

If they manage the heat problem properly, do you see any heatsink for those LEDs? heatsink costs money, if they make the TV last just pass the warranty period then it is good enough, it does not matter what brand of TVs, the LEDs are failing like flies. I always tell people to turn down the backlights level as down as possible to extend the life of the LEDs.

yeah .....i havent heard ccfl failing like flies lol.......and i thought leds run cool...not hot like ccfl

so why the heat????...and yes the insides of these cheap branded walmart style tvs are crap....i cant believe how cheap materials used........they are made to only last 2-3 yrs it seems....even the earlier version lcd tvs will get more than 5 yrs out of them but they weighed 25lbs not 5 lbs like the cheap ones are now....they actually had steel in them and boards lol

to me a lcd tv that weighs 25lbs is better than one that weighs 5 lbs and made of 100% plastic

5lbs means cheap....not good......

very interesting i always thought leds produced little to no heat......its the opposite

they produce a lot of heat but needs to be controlled via heat sinks

Some folks swear by not running the backlight higher than 50%, because of this LED burning out issue.

Re: Seiki SE322FS lcd tv powers on fine but no backlight

What you mean? LED LCD has LED's as a backlight. The older LCD's have CCFL's.

Re: Seiki SE322FS lcd tv powers on fine but no backlight

LED LCD is a lcd monitor with led backlight

there is no such thing as a LED TV or LED monitor.......its incorrect wording used by uninformed people

they are LCD monitors and tvs that use LED as backlight.....

in old days all LCD used ccfl as backlights and were just called LCD monitors or tvs
