One member that I know of tried this suggestion with good results: cut off the stock AC cord within about 6" of the TV, then attach with crimp lugs or solder on your own IEC connector. Insulate the bare leads with heat shrink sleeving etc. & connect an aupgare AC cord to this "adapter". He said it worked so well that didn't even bother to hardwire it into the set.
Ever add a Aftermarket Cord to a TV?
I would think that of all the components that could benefit from an aftermarket cord, it would be a TV. Anyone ever try this? Would like to know b4 I snip my 32XBR.
