It would be nice if there are TVs with external power bricks, so users can easily replace the power supply if they break.

That would be nice, it seems like the power to a TV is the first thing to go if not pixels on the screen.

Some power bricks can get hot to the touch, so I think installing them in a TV case could make them fail faster if the inside of the TV is also hot.

True, they seem to get bigger again these days, almost need a cooling fan on them.

The original Xbox 360 power brick, and most desktop computer powet supplies also has a fan.
I think someday more powerful Smart TVs with faster CPU chips and graphics chips may require a fan on the power brick to prevent the power brick from overheating.

Or they have better cooling, it seems liquid cooling is becoming more popular by the day.

Liquid cooling would be nice, but I am concerned with liquid leaks getting on a power supply.
