LCD vs LED

[Ubergeek63]

Obviously not - but I would hope that Mercedes would buy units fitted with decent ones, and all the ones I've repaired have been Mercedes.

I 'think' they may have been HP/Aligent ones, as the ones I fitted as replacements were, and they looked absolutely identical.

of course they do, that is the definition of a cheap Chinese knock off.

Unless you are trying to say that mercedes liquid cooled the things with an external heat exchanger i can easily see turning them on in a 60C internal cabin temperature, a temperature easily exceeded in a closed vehicle in the summer sun, over stressing "nominally" driven LEDs.
