I still find it a bit of an anticlimax that modern TVs are pretty
dead from the smell point of view. Having for most of my life had TVs
with valves and a CRT, one gets used to the hot singed paxolin and
Ozone smell as you turn them on for a while.
Older sets had that decidedly musty smell as all the accumulated dust
inside heated up.
Unfortunately, modern LCDs tend to run cool and very seldom smell of anything at all.

I mentioned in another thread the TV set we had as students, that came
from an Indian family, and stank of curry until it had burned off.
Maybe that's not quite what you mean, though...

I would regard a smell of curry as a positive. :)

I have seen a reference to smelly vision on tv
Yes but that is intentional, and works a bit like vaping cartridges, another chance to sell folk consumables.

Nowadays you don't need a physical consumable with TVs as the whole TV is
the consumable!
(The problem with the consumables tactic is that you get undercut by after market suppliers and have to keep increasing the number of blades in your razors to keep the market.)
