    LCD had glass tube light bulbs where as the LED has tiny LED lights. The LED lights are not a problem but the LCD glass tubes do contain mercury so are a concern.



    To my knowledge all the tv's in last few years are all LED so as far as mercury there in not the same problems as the LCD screens have.

    For me the issue was getting rid of the plastics since my county stopped taking in most plastics for recycling. This left one option put them in the trash.

    When I was working with LED tv's I payed my picker $5 each and the ones with cracked screens I sold the boards on ebay. The ones with good screens but broken I troubleshoot and repaired when warranted. Often repair was replacing a few capacitors. Troubleshooting, repair and advice on where to purchase parts are available on youtube. The ones I repaired I kept or gave to relatives and neighbors. I got tired of it and frankly there's just not a lot of profit in it. 73, Mike
