You're really not trying hard to think of any possible answers, are you?

In most devices over a certain level of complexity, there's firmware involved in thermal management. Messing that up can easily lead to premature failure of the hardware, and in some cases very quick failure.

Even for a TV which may not have much of a thermal concern for its processor (though I wouldn't bet on it with today's smart TVs), you can still expect there to be some screen burn-in mitigation.

I asked a question because I don't know. I assumed you did. I'm trying to learn something.

You're being passive-aggressively unimaginative and unwilling to seek out information for yourself, in a manner that is a common form of trolling. Even if trolling is not your intent, you should know that the idea of learning by asserting something wrong online and waiting to be corrected may make for a good joke but is not a polite and productive way to have online conversations.

I'm not being "passive-aggressively" anything. I asked a simple question. You're the one who started some firmware/software semantics argument instead of actually answering what I asked. I didn't assert anything either, other than that firmware is software. I continue to assert that now.

If you think I'm trolling, then simply don't reply. I've learned plenty from the other posts. I'd rather not create hardship for dang by continuing this thread.
