Question from bebe
I purchased a new flat-screen tv for my bedroom, but the smell is bothering me. I am deciding between returning it altogether or putting it in the garage to outgas (and maybe put it in my son’s room later). I know people have different sensitivities, but how about how long would it take for the tv to stop giving off an odor?
Thanks,

Depends on the tv. The more you run it, the faster it will outgas, as the heat speeds outgassing.
I am very sensitive and have had to keep new TVs running 24 hours/day in my attic for about 2 years until my wife and I can tolerate them.
