It is possible the LCD TV may feel warm or hot to the touch after several hours of use. Because LCD TVs are thin and the cabinet enclosure is relatively small, heat generated by the LED backlight located at the bottom or side of the TV is more noticeable. The warm temperature is normal operation and should not be a cause for concern. This does not indicate a defect nor does it affect the reliability or life of the product.
