I think the only question here is how many people will actually be able to afford a tv like this. 

I wonder how long until we get mining microwaves? This is funny and smart at the same time, watch TV while you are making bitcoin, does this mean that every house product that spends electricity one day will be mining and paying off their own expenses  , that would be interesting.

how they consider this as a good idea is beyond me. 100 watts? so someone with high electric cost has this in their living space that produces 100 watts of heat that the AC now needs to absorb and dump in hot weather/climates? 100 watts isnt much but its still added cost for that gets them what..  "entertainment content or physical gifts through Canaan’s platform.”

when these chips are obsolete and losing the owner money (assuming that their entertainment content or gifts are even worth the extra cost of 100 watts worth of electricity when its new).. this is a good idea? hopefully this feature can be turned off.

i wonder if it mines 24/7 or only if the TV is on.

basically the manufacturer makes money, not the owner of the TV. i assume the TV mines at a pool the manufacturer or canaan controls as you dont get any coins. so thats not much towards decentralization.. it mines where they point it.

now i can see mining chips in hot water heaters, hot tubs, pools, heated floors etc.. but TVs? just dont see any upside.

maybe they picked TVs because many people have theirs connected to the internet. mine is not, and no TV of mine ever will be (sometimes temporarily for a firmware update but then its disconnected again). but thats likely just me; i use a HTPC for delivering stuff to my TV.

If this tv will collect data on what we watch, there will be a decentralization of tv ratings. The accuracy of tv rating in my country is B.S, there are two who rates tv audience viewing here, and they both contradict each other.

Canaan might not be doing good in marketing, they will be needing more ways on how they will sell their miners.

Mining tv? This sounds kinda funny. What other mining are we waiting to see?  Ah radio mining or probably wrist watch mining. Many of this mining stuff are just ironic seriously

most TVs (and much/most) consumer electronics here in the usa strive for "energy star" ratings, which mean they turn off or enter low power modes after a set amount of time automatically, or do other energy saving things. and for many its a selling point. less power used etc.. i hate it myself, when i turn a device on i expect it to stay on. i have to go through menus on my electronics to override these settings. what a pain.

these TVs sure wont get "energy star" rated lol

The next stage is for Bitmain to fight back, and to add a TV screen option to their miners

xD this is very funny but this is good only as a curiosity. Even not to consider to buy for mining.
But I give some information I on previous winter use GPU RIG to warm my flat. I sold it but I will buy some old ASIC for this. If I can have warm for free why not (I need to use electricity to warm my flat).

I would a agree, that is a good business solution for the hotels and other similar service providers. But will it be quiet enough? It looks more like a trendy thing than a mining equipment.
