Wow. The "designed to fail" backdrop on the video says a lot about this. They're aiming for clicks, rather than rigorous testing.
I'm not at all surprised that TVs aren't designed to be used 24/7 by residential users. And I'm not at all surprised that running them for 10,000 hours straight causes a lot of problems for them.
And I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that overworking them in the short term like that isn't the same as using them regularly and normally for 6 years. Some of those things might still happen, but some of it is death from overheating.
