So...the replacement TV worked for 2 months and then went black? When you turn on the TV, you don't see the manufacturer's splash screen? Power light on the TV? What happens went you navigate the TV settings with the TV remote?
You could connect another HDMI device to the TV to test, such as a streamer or Blu-ray player or, even though you probably don't have an antenna connected, you could test for just static. Press the HDMI Input button on the Contour remote to check for any life.
You could also try to launch an app installed on the Smart TV or update its software. It may be the cable-box.
replacement tv has worked for years in a different part of the home. put it in the living room, worked for 2 months, then started doing the same thing the first tv did. the tv will turn on, but will only show a black screen. This tv is not a smart tv, so we can't try other apps.
Good idea to test another HDMI device to the TV. we'll try that and see what happens.
I doubt its the TV because even if two screens go dark, you should still hear audio.
You may also want to inspect or swap the HDMI cable. Perhaps your cat has been chewing on it.
Did you try moving the replacement TV back to the room where it worked before to see if it still works there?
