Can Heat Damage a Laptop Screen?

[JAurelio]

I noticed that the Dell G3 3500(i7 10750H/RTX 2060) has a fan design that blows the heat directly on the screen and it goes up to 65°C/149°F during gaming.

I found the LCD Product Specification PDF(NV156FHM-N4G), there you can find the safe operation temperature which is 50°C max.

Dell has the worst cooling solutions when it comes to laptops, at least here in my country, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is a bad product design.

What do you guys think?

Document this good enough and if does you can force the hands of Dell to give you a free repair. I personally never seen a panel die because of its board frying in the last 10 years.

I've seen people damage their screens by gaming with the lid closed, but you can't tell if it was really the heat or just a bad LCD

i'm sure dell has done enough testing to assure that this wouldnt nuke the display before the warranty runs out.

 

i agree that this is a hilareously poor design, but i highly doubt that it'll cause the displays to spontaniously die within a short timeframe. as opposed to what some people like to believe, manufacturers like their stuff to not break quickly, because if it breaks quickly you get a lot of RMA's, and that costs a lot of money.

 

also -- that temperature spec from the display manufacturer.. those are probably ambient temperatures, not temperatures of the display itself.
