Plasma TV smell?

The smell i'm getting is the cross between electrical and bleach and everyone including the manufacturer can't tell me what it is! The smell i'm getting is the cross between electrical and bleach and everyone including the manufacturer can't tell me what it is!

The smell from my new plasma TV is scary - toxic. I don't even want to go into the room. It's a Panasonic 42". I've called Best Buy and they're supposed to be sending a repaor guy out today. If I get an answer I'll post it. The smell from my new plasma TV is scary - toxic. I don't even want to go into the room. It's a Panasonic 42".

Mine smells too, I am afraid of it, smells like it could be dangerous to inhale... Anyone figure it out? Mines an LG 50 too. Mine smells too, I am afraid of it, smells like it could be dangerous to inhale... Anyone figure it out? Mines an LG 50 too.

I called the gas company because I thought it was my fireplace. They found no problem with gas or carbon monoxide. After they left I thought of the 50 " Plasma TV. That's where the smell was coming from. I called the gas company because I thought it was my fireplace. They found no problem with gas or carbon monoxide.

My Panasonic plasma forces air out the top rear which smells as if a mouse has died in there, I have checked and no mouse, I think it is the hot dust that covers everything in side the tv. Any bright ideas?

We stored our Vizio TV for 3 months. We did not have this problem previously but now it emits a smell like burning plastic. Is this just annoying? Or is it dangerous? Will it go away? Why is this happening now? Please help!! We stored our Vizio TV for 3 months. We did not have this problem previously but now it emits a smell like burning plastic. Is this just annoying?

I am having the same problem with my 42 in. Panasonic plasma screen. the whole apartment smells like electrical burning--so bad it gives me a headache! i saw someone posted not to plug in to an extension cord, which is what i had been doing. why is that? is that what causes the burning smell?

I have a 42 inch Panasonic plasma television that I purchased in September 2007. Just recently it began emitting a chemical like odor that makes my eyes burn and makes my asthma react. The TV appears to be functioning properly yet have only recently noted this problem. Has this been noted by anyone as sets begin to age?

It's not just plasma. I bought a new LDC and an HDTV tube TV in 2008 and am having the same problems. They both emit strong electrical odors as well as other melting-plastic-type odors, etc., that irritate my throat, burn my eyes and my lungs! I not only smell all these noxious odors, but I even get that electrical/chemical taste in my mouth. I absolutely cannot stand being in the same room with either. They are in the garage where I tried outgasing them by turning them on for several hours each day, but the odors are all still there. I wonder if the electrical smell and taste are caused by radiation? What's the answer?

mine is a Magnavox HDTV. Works just fine and is only 2 months old. Never had the smell at the start and then 2 months into ownership it begins smelling like plastic burning. TV is not hot...it works...the smell is so bad that it leaves a taste in your mouth and gives me a headache. I have unlugged it and am trying to findout just what is it and what was I exposed to? mine is a Magnavox HDTV. Works just fine and is only 2 months old.
