unclevlad Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Digital TV, that is. We had some big time lightning, and lost power for ~ 45 minutes...fortunately, as the oven was pre-heating, NOT when everything was in and cooking. TCL TV came back up, seemed to be just fine for a bit, but then...I dunno, it's died. 3rd digital TV to do so for me, in not allll that long a period of time. Tried lots of things, nothing works. May have to see if I've got a spare monitor with an HDMI port. I know I've got the monitors; not sure about the HDMI. Sound's not an issue, it's piped through my receiver. And I may price a monitor if I do have to replace it, altho the better monitors in 40-43" sizes are, I think, substantially MORE than the TVs... EDIT: yeah, one of my spare monitors works just fine....it's only about 20" tho, so it's not a permanent solution. EDIT 2: forget replacing a 43" TV with a 43" monitor, pretty much. Unless the TV's something like a Sony where the brand premium is particularly high. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Put a UPS in your home entertainment center. It may seem like overkill but it can save you from this happening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a komodo dragon, even one that's only three and a half feet long, would be a poor substitute for a television. I'll show myself out now. (My condolences on your loss, by the way. What a nuisance.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
