Unsure if it even has dedicated name, since everything that is soldered on, isn't meant to be replaced.
Thanks for your reply
probably no specific replacement you can find, those things are usually made and designed for a specific PCB, but in my experience with music equipment replacing thermal compound with high end compound designed for PC's, like you have done, can yield very good results, these things are built with "heat sink compound", like what goes between a power transistor and a heat spreader, those compounds are very very low quality
consumer electronics is cheap and designed to live only a few years these days, seeing if you can improve that sounds like a great electronics project, good luck with it
In today's day and age, essentially every piece of consumer electronics can be improved upon, especially when it is low-end/cheap to begin with.seeing if you can improve that sounds like a great electronics project, good luck with it
It isn't a heat sink to begin with. Heat sink has fins for better cooling. What you have there, is heat spreader, which can also be called as cold plate.
Did look a bit more into those TVs and they are not official Acer TVs.

this sort of thing is what's normally used on a general electronics production line:

several years ago I built a PC up with this just to see how bad it really was, I had a CPU that with arctic paste idled at 35-40, instead idled at 55-60, it was insanely bad, running 20 degrees hotter
other than the improvement you'll already have from improving the compound and air flow, you can get stuff like this that you might be able to stick on top of the soldered heat spreader you have:

no problem,
yeah, blowing fresh air down onto that heat-sink would probably be most effective
Current setup is sucking air out from the TV since you can see fan hub frame and that is the exhaust part of the fan.
Thanks for your replyCurrent setup is sucking air out from the TV since you can see fan hub frame and that is the exhaust part of the fan.
This creates negative pressure inside the housing and in terms of cooling, is best. Downside is that air is sucked in from all the gaps the TV has, and with air, dust as well.
If you were to flip the fan around, it then pushes the air in, creating positive pressure. And if you could somehow put a dust filter in front of the fan, you can eliminate dust buildup in there. Downside is that positive pressure isn't as good in cooling as negative pressure is and it can also lead to hotspots.
Like i said before, your TV is NOT an Acer product. It is made by Indkal, who pays Acer to use Acer name on their TVs.
Many TVs use on-board power brick. This makes the external power cord slimmer and can be shorter as well. It gives the TV more "sleek" looks.
Lubuntu should be able to run it without issues. I have Lubuntu on my ancient laptop, running like a charm and my laptop only has 512 MB of RAM (DDR2, at 900 Mhz). And 4GB SSD too. So, Lubuntu for sure works, based on hardware specs your TV has.
Thank you for your reply
A made up fancy identifier for what appears to be a simple slab of metal.Please explain (for a non-native English)
Thanks for your reply
you know, I'm actually surprised that know one has marked that idea more, I mean it isn't that much of a stretch of the imagination to build what would basically be a console built into a TV that could also stream media, with everyone liking minimalism so much nowadays it seems like it would sell
This kind of hardware, that can do all, actually does exist. It is called desktop PC.
true, I'm working on a media centre mini-ITX build at the moment, I guess I just thought that given how small the hardware can be made, gaming laptops and consoles etc... I was just surprised no one has done this:
but more powerful so it can run more, like a high end console built into the back of a wall mounted flat screen, but now I feel guilty for derailing the OP's thread, oops
