Ok, I believe I'm going to move the 3 year old Samsung 55" LED to the basement and pickup a new 55" for our family space. I'd like to get integrated ROKU for our main TV anyhow to simplify this for the family.
TCL - 55" Class - LED - 5 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR - Roku TV seems like a decent buy.

Yes they put off a lot of heat. However, I don't understand how it could be a big problem. Don't you turn the TV off when you're not watching a program? We have a Panny plasma and it is not a problem. The one or two hours a day it is on are not enough to cause problems.

Kid + Xbox + On for hours = Big Heat Problem.

What does the Kill-a-Watt say?
IMHO this is the perfect example why it’s nice to have a Kill-a-Watt these days. Measure not only power, but also voltage, Amps, power factor, frequency.

I bet hooking that up to an older Mac Pro in an insulated room could double as a sauna.

The (almost) instant-on feature of TVs means a plasma TV uses a fair amount of power even when shut off.
