Notes

Outdoor TVs endure heat, cold, moisture, and bright-use backlight stress. Repairs can be worth it when the issue is a power board, fan, or a sealing component and the panel is otherwise uniform.

Replace is usually safer if the backlight is failing broadly, if there's evidence of moisture ingress, or if repeated issues suggest enclosure sealing has been compromised.
