Is a plastic smell normal when TV gets hot?

[ManderleyBoy]

My 3 month old BRAVIA has a faint plasticky smell around the top bezel (only when I smell up close). It gets pretty warm when I use it for PS5 gaming but not scalding. 
 

This goes away when it cools down. 
 

There also is a new area of backlight bleed/clouding that I haven’t noticed before so I’m wondering if this could somehow be related. 
 

I haven’t really done anything to the TV but for frequent adjustments of the viewing angle; I move it on the swivel of the wall mount and the plastic creaks but I doubt this is enough to shift something inside.

It's not unheard of, especially for new TVs. The plastic is still offgassing, and those backlight LEDs get hot.

Even after 3 months or so?

Saw one big TV, which smells and back cover get very hot in one region.

Open it and find few failed capacitors, heated semiconductor element

Change capacitors and now TV works ok for while
