Very good support (several sensible emails back and forth) but burnin mode cannot be exited so it has to go back for repair.

But! Even after admitting I messed this up by exploring the hidden 'factory menu' using a code I found on the internet, they've decided to do a swap.

So it arrived Monday, I broke it Monday evening and I'll have a brand new replacement Thursday and no charge.

I'm impressed with #celloTV service and products, and have ordered a second one already.

#celloTV have replied already and say there's no way to get out of burnin mode once started!

So they want to collect it, but I've offered to open it up and void the warranty instead if that's an option.

Oops, I messed up my brand new #celloTV

I was looking for how to gain access to the internals and managed to enable the factory menu.

Exploring that, I eventually enabled "burnin mode" and now it's stuck doing that and I can't find a way to get it back to working as a TV. 😊

MODEL: C1924SH V2

If I figure it out I'll edit this t00t. Have emailed Cello customer service so this will be a good test of that too. I'm really impressed with the TV.

I continue to be impressed, but then I've been using very old TVs until now. Insert an old USB stick and bingo, you can pause live TV, record, play back etc, or view/play what's on the stick (photos, music, movies) though I've only tried recording/pausing so far.

I'm sure you can schedule recording of a programme/series but again not tried yet.

Having learned how to extend text screen timeout to 35s I'm likely to buy another before prices rocket due to the orange idiot wars. #celloTV

Apparently there's a UK TV "manufacturer" called #celloTV 🤔.

They do a 19" dumb (NOT #InternetOfShit) TV for £120, or £100 with coupon on their eBay listing.

Ordered Friday arrived Monday and works. It has USB recording/playback, Freeview etc. Looks perfect, although I'm used to rubbish. Got it so I can read text more easily when used as a monitor in my #HomeLab.

One *major* irritation, text screens disappear 10s after last button press, way too short even for EPG. EDIT: can set this to 35s
