On the bottom left of the screen was a black dot getting larger as I watched it. I got up and touched the screen which was so hot the plastic casing around the TV was melting, and burned my finger. I immediately turned the TV off, waited a few hours, and turned TV back on. Black dot began enlarging- I touched it again and burning my finger once more. The TV never regained the screen and I feel sure had I not been in the room the TV would have caught fire.
