in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I bought a new Samsung 32" tv about a month ago (reduced as it was the display mode) and after watching it for a couple of hours yesterday I noticed it was quite warm on the screen and the top.
Is this normal or should I take it back?
Thanks

    Yes they do get a little warm after a while, not hot though. I noticed this ons several lcd screens as I like to let them cool down before I clean them with wipes

    We have several Sony LCD's and they all get hot. I was surprised just how much tbh.
