He just admitted that his cat bit the tv, why should warranty cover that?

Should a modern tv be able to withstand any kind of puncture to its screen? (twitter)

Tech Enthusiasts: Bezels are the worst thing in existence and their presence makes me want to die.
Cat: Let me show you one of the benefits of a good, sturdy bezel.

I guess I meant extended/accidental coverage. I usually avoid those, but I get them for TVs.
Not a design flaw, it's a compromise in design... Want super thin TV that goes edge to edge with almost no bezel almost all screen, and it also has to be super light, ... oh and it has to be below $2500? There's gonna be compromises.
I'm surprised the entire thing is 100% dead from that, but a TV isn't a high touch device so there shouldn't be an expectation that it cannot be punctured. They do need to make TVs a bit more robust so that you can move them safely now that bevels are non-existent, but protecting against something biting it is absurd.
My twin toddlers threw a hard toy at my previous tv, which led to me getting an LG OLED.
Not good, but a lovely silver lining.
I miss the durability and reliability of a dot-matrix screen.
Oh you know that cat did this intentionally.
I could not imagine calling customer service and expecting more than a shrug. Your cat put a fucking hole in your TV screen! The attempt to keep playing it down by talking about how small you think the hole is is hilarious. It's a fucking hole in your screen.
Lol, I'm picturing someone trying to get air bubbles out of a 70" screen protector.
This is the reason I rolled my eyes when I saw the tweet. It's a hole
I don't understand the bezel hate. The only time I've ever been inconvenienced by a bezel is when I tried a dual monitor setup where Screen A stretched to Screen B instead of the a: landscape b: portrait setup I have now.
Even on phones, my hands keep phantom pressing because of the lack of bezel and it's annoying as hell.
More proof that dogs are superior to cats
I guess if bit through a wire or a transistor or whatever it could brick the whole tv. Weird the person is outraged though

You try puncturing an old tv and see if it still works or what happens. Don't do this, please no!
This seems pretty flimsy tbh, something like that bricking the tv seems odd, but I don't really have a good grasp of what the damage is.
Also a cat biting a tv is the most rando passive aggressive cat shit ever.

The problem is societies obsession with thin electronics. They could easily make it an inch this housing and it would probably be cheaper to produce but then all the reviewers will bomb it for ugly aesthetics.
This got me thinking. Surely there's something on the internet somewhere that replaces everyone involved with the Death Star trench run with cats.
I bought a TV moving box from Home Depot for my OLED when I last moved and it arrived without issue. We did make sure that it was kept vertical.
I agree, but I can't say I'm not a little nervous when my dog is excited, has that tail wagging at 200mph, and is around the TV.
Never venture into the comments section on The Verge.
I bought a new TV last year, and there were two thick, removable plastic bars on the front of the screen which served the singular purpose of providing an area to grip when removing it from the box. That's how fragile these things are.
I hear you, we've got our mounted up on the wall, away from wagging tails and slobbering mouths lol
Why? It is an OLED TV... the technology doesn't work if you puncture the glass.. they could add an extra layer or film but that would degrade PQ. Sort of reinventing the technology what is the alternative?
What why? Expensive shit is fragile all the time. In fact it's often MORE fragile. If I buy a $1500 turntable I don't get pissed that I can't carry it around sideways and chuck it on the ground like a briefcase Crosley.
I'm not really sure how you would design around preventing this. Making the casing more sturdy wouldn't help with a straight up puncture to the front. Making the glass on the screen thicker to the point it would be able to prevent against a cat bite would definitely decrease picture quality and kill viewing angles. I guess you could try to make the damage localized, such that it would only kill part of the screen. But that would require a major increase in cost for an incredibly limited use case as most people don't puncture their tvs. And even if they did, who'd want to use a TV where a part of the screen isn't working?
They're not, but people here have to be irrationally hostile to anything remotely related to RLM.
The Nerd Crew selling out again with this viral marketing for Stray.
The anti-RLM crew came in HOT to this thread lmao.

Maybe they should change their business from Lightning Fast VCR Repair to Lightning Fast TV Cat Bite Repair.
Genuinely don't even know who rlm are
Also, this is why if you have pets and/pr kids those $200 "accidental damage protection" plans that are usually a waste are totally worth it for expensive electronics.
