Burning plastic smell from back of Tv

[Ramos2]

Hi, I was watching a movie last night, when i started smelling burned plastic.   At first I wasn't sure where it was coming from.  As the smell got stronger, I realized the smell was coming from inside my Sumsung television.  I quickly turn the power off and disconnect it from the wall.  Anyone having similar issues?  I take good care of my stuff this is a manufacturer issue, I have noTV now.

Hello! We just had this happen to us, we have taken VERY good care of our Samsung TV, keeping it clean on the outside, vacuuming and blowing out the dust on the inside and changing the bulb every year. We have had 0 problems with this TV, in fact it's been our favorite. Just today, out of nowhere, I smelled a horrible burning plastic/burning rubber smell that made me nauseous and gave me a terrible headache. It took a while to figure out it came from the back of the TV and we shut it off right then. This is our favorite TV we have ever had and we have taken extremely good care of it....we hope we can figure out exactly what is going on so that it can be replaced because it's not anything WE did, it apparently is some sort of internal part issue. What can we do to get the part replaced since it wasn't an "operator error" but instead a product issue?

Good afternoon. It happened to us too. Samsung 40inches. Smell burnt. While watching the news, we saw a light of fire moving along inside the screen, it's like the newscaster has halo. I switched off the tv and the power source

I would like help too.  My 2011 46'' lcd did the exact same thing.  Tv works normal otherwise, but I unplugged it as I read online it can cause fire.   Disappointing and stinky.

This just happened to me today and I have been googling what to do or what it could be. I was watching a show and then I smelled something really foul and eventually realized it was the TV. I unplugged it and all but now it just looks like it tries to turn on every few seconds but nothing happens.
