What's Inside a Curved LED TV? Let's Scrap It Out & See!

Samsung Curved LED TV Teardown, What's inside an Curved TV? I scrapped out this 55in Samsung LED TV UA55JU7500WXXY found while street scrapping for e-waste.
Pretty much the same as a regular LED TV but still interesting to see and being the first Curved LED to be fully scrapped out, I guess someone had to do it sooner or later.

Keep scrapping & have fun!

You’re a little gem mate thanks for the vid

[@kassiman5307]

*Hey .... THATS COOL.... !!! GREAT VIDEO AND NICE INFORMATION .... THANKS FOR THAT ...*

[@ernestpetzrick7741]

informative scrap thank you. I usually snap the LED strips and peel off the copper. The strip can then go in low grade boards and the copper "tape" into #2.

[@eWasteBen]

If I scrapped LED TV's out I wouldn't go that far into it, it would create a lot more rubbish, for me it's best to remove the boards, put the cover back on and send to the recyclng center

[@ernestpetzrick7741]

No arguments there. I don't have the turn over you do, so not a huge issue for me.

[@bantalee2002]

I use the white rigid plastic to cover a few of my work surfaces. The next door neighbor gave me 5.00 dollars for one sheet of it. He puts it down on a table(washes it clean with bleach first) when he cleans his fish catch. So yeah those mylar sheets are handy for a quick work surface covering.

[@spottyskunk1898]

Yeah, i took a big piece from a projector tv to cover my hobby bench. :D

[@ArthursHD]

Plastics can be worthwhile if you can get them in large quantity and sorted at least by type (color for higher value). Plastic can be ground up with ordinary shredder like precious plastics use. A while ago China lowered the limit on contamination 0.5% for its plastic imports. At least the rigid plastic sheet is a light diffuser and can be made to build cheap studio lights. Plastic can be worth up to 1k $ a tonne. Depending on how much work you want to put in. Cases usually are made of ABS but can be PC or PS as well. Wonder could there be a market for those plastic sheets in TVs as is for reuse in lower quality products. A plastic that is not black can be sorted by an Optical spectrometer - there could be a local buyer for hard plastic.

[@RighBread]

I've always wondered why you tend to not pick up flat-screens, and now I see why. It's so interesting to see that some of this newer tech has less value in raw materials. Very informative video.

[@duhamellchannel]

Did you scrap your screws to?. The weight can add up on them pretty fast.

[@beartooth8865]

Well done! Thanks 📺

[@badsantaclaus4522]

All of the plastic sheets I let my grand-kids paint on them Thanks for sharing

[@lalo80adams71]

Just like a basic flat screen, thanks for the knowledge

[@komerwest9520]

3 grand hell for that much it should be working for a least one hundred years

[@Joe-dw8sh]

komer west remember when crt TV's used to cost over $1000

[@shaneyork300]

When I did my first curvy I thought it just had to be better than its flat counter parts. It was a BIG disappointment, because it was worse than the 4 or 5 flatscreens I has done that day previous to the curvy. I try to save the best for last. It didn't work that day!! I'm glad that you put the vid out so others wouldn't have the same feeling I had. I picked mine, (which I talked about when you picked up the curvy) a bit before you, so I knew before the vid last year what to expect. I got "lucky" one day last March!

[@tdl555able]

Hey Ben love the vlogs so thank you for all the work you do with them. I just wanted to know if you have ever done one on the Types of Scrap Copper Wire & Differences, as in the Category's and types and how you would sell and sort them for the scrap yard? Thanks

[@TheTorkerman]

The large perspex/plastic sheet. These make cheap whiteboard for the shed 👍🏻👍🏻

[@robinregner3702]

Every LED contains one or more gold bonding wire. Just have a look under a microscope, there you can see it. I collect all of them. One day there will be a recyclingmethod for those.

[@cptrikester2671]

Was going to make this comment too. I save every LED I find. Could they be smashed and ground up for processing?

[@dtec30]

LEDs under bench lighting in kitchen maybe

[@Cherry1880]

Tell me if I'm wrong but on any Display being *LCD or OLED* they have finger strip boards and what I believe has precious metals are *The gold flashing on the surface, the MLCC-s, The 1 flat pack/IC chip* and the last thing witch I noticed that you never picked up or you didn't know but also the *silicon chip* that's in the *ribbons that connects the finger strip boards to the screen,* I'm sure those chips have *silver* in them and they are *easy to separate from the ribbon,* I do it myself and personally I like the patterns on the chip when I separate it, i hope this helped you *if you didn't know already*

[@cptrikester2671]

I learned that the first thing to do is plug it in to see what works. I now have a free 50" computer monitor as a result.

[@davedontknow8980]

Someone's Ex-girlfriend went crazy on that TV.

[@DDICyber]

the mainboard and the psu and the tcon are always expansive

[@emmetmyers]

you can sell the led strips for some $$ as well. thanks for the tare down !!

[@frankcrenshaw158]

I scraped a small flat screen TV yesterday with LED strips in it but they were on aluminum not copper

[@thevoidedwarranty]

Thoese backligh leds goes for quite alot and they are consumables .

[@superactiontank]

Good stuff 👍

[@soulfoodqueennet]

I enjoy watching thank you for sharing Like 101

[@horacepinker6578]

Hey Ben too bad the acrylic was opaque. You could have used it to protect the back window of your van from getting smashed. The older lcds have transparent acrylic which is ideal as you can still see through it. just mount it with double sided tape or selastic. or screw it in place no broken windows :)

[@eWasteBen]

I might try that, selastic might be the go, it would leave a good gap in between for some shock proofing.

[@gateke1]

16:10 nice sound effect 22:07 now u ve got some flexible tv screen ... breaking up 😋, silver plated screen?

[@komerwest9520]

Well did you try the TV out to see if it would power up

[@rrobert1482]

i like the way you say alu minium

[@lt.punchdrunkington7123]

What were those two gold colored square things under the LED lights?

[@kenkarish826]

Hey Ben, I will take off the boards and strips. The rest I leave together and take in as scrap steel. With the screen on gives it a lot of weight. I don't know if you can get away with it, but my yard allows me.

[@kenkarish826]

At 11:40 you should stop and scrap it as metal. I keep the ribbons also as where they attach they have a little gold.

[@digofthedump]

did you not try to switch it on b4 scraping out?? gl hh

[@em-electronicsmore1010]

The speakers might be good.

[@chickenfugger9527]

@ewaste ben Can you do a video of how to determine the grade of boards? If you did one I coudn't find it. Thanks

[@eWasteBen]

I did a couple vid's of boards I buy and how I grade them..part 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2m2o2qKe5uYitk part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXTUhYaprdKhj7s

[@metalmouth5817]

looks basically the same as other tvs but the screen my be different 4 map torching away in a furnace should melt the tantalum sodium carbonate added should help seperate the glass silver and sometimes gold but be careful tantalum melts at over 5000 farenheit...

[@computernewandoldcomputert2971]

the fault would have been damaged screen. the powerboard and tcon shoud be fine and have the most value.

[@ZachElder]

Always sell boards from tvs on eBay if they work

[@metalmouth5817]

i get alot of those led tvs the backing my be 22k gold

[@Andrew_Sparrow]

With TVs these days basically being a computer, wouldn't the main board be worth a bit more? it must have a CPU and memory etc comparable to a cheap laptop board?

[@eWasteBen]

Well it's what I would grade as high grade which is a little above mid grade, in the states it's graded as a peripheral board. So less than half of a laptop boards value. Sure they have a couple chips here and there but those chips are small and overall not much PM recovery on the whole board.

[@radionutio81ij79]

What a pile of crap for 3000 dollars I shall stick to my old 1999 jvc32 inch wide screen crt tube tv thank you very much. Nice video mate enjoy your uploads from the land down under best regards from a uk pom.😊

[@quantumstudios7944]

not much in it for 3 thousand dollars

[@scraphawk]

How did you get it home did you run out of room and you had to drag it behind your van

[@kdscrapping4452]

Yah Tied the cord to the bumper LOL!!!

[@johndonohue3756]

Scrap Hawk HAAHA he found it that way.

[@lonewolfgeoff]

he curved it in round the top... and tied it to the roof! lol

[@jammadturn]

At the price of those TVs that mylar could have silver.

[@metalmouth5817]

4 map pro tanks

[@andrewszombie]

22:38 noooooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭

[@steve64464]

The Led's might be fun to play with (shove em in solar light maybe) but looks like a standard display inside, I don't get the fascination with making these displays odd shapes, Manufacturers must be desperate for sales. The large sheets of plastic from inside can be useful but from my experiments they appear very brittle and not as durable as perspex.

[@patprop74]

HAHAHAHA, ben, the screen isn't curved lol its just the wide angle lens that makes it look that way Mate . a little bit of humor for the haters out there lol

[@johnhull6363]

There tough tried to replace a led in my 50" flat...screen cracked just taking apart...glass 1/4" thick...

[@billargiropoulos625]

First!

[@greekgods3399]

when is the new vid coming out

[@eWasteBen]

few hours, it's loading

[@greekgods3399]

k thxs

[@greekgods3399]

love the vids btw

[@gortnewton4765]

Fascinating. So Asian factories are making gigantic amounts of money from us for not much value.

[@paulrowcliffe1395]

Shame the boards are not curved.so people are paying top dollar for just a curved piece of glass.👍♻

[@joeyfrontz1255]

I'll give you an E for effort.

[@lanitaorjeraldlewisdillorl2258]

✔️ out Tom Macdonald on KZbin. His songs are the best like castles, brainwashed, snowflakes and all the rest are amazing!

[@johnhull6363]

Some money in used parts. As scrap not worth your time

[@RighBread]

He's doing it for fun, dude. Not everything is about money.

[@lonewolfgeoff]

grief! that is so... primitive! may as well pin the strips to the wall with plastic on top! no wonder they just get landfilled!

[@johnhull6363]

Tcon board used $10 to $20 us

[@johnhull6363]

Sure you know but led's like old Christmas lights....one goes out...they all do

[@simonstergaard]

your table is just as curved as the screen... i cant trust this...

[@johnhull6363]

Not much....next to nothing

[@eWasteBen]

Mostly made up of plastic, The most expensive sheets of plastic in the world

[@johnhull6363]

eWaste Ben yeah and they last 2 years everytime i blow one up my 36" 25yr old tube type comes out of storage

[@johnhull6363]

No copper bars from these that's for sure

[@johnhull6363]

I use the plastic sheeting on full sun windows in summer

[@al9094]

12 min in and i ff through most of it and can't watch anymore. Way to much talk.
