Abstract
Based on an in depth user research, two upgrading scenario´s for TVs which are currently discarded by first owners have been identified. Due to the fact that energy consumption is dominant in the environmental load over the total life cycle, the environmental and economical gains are limited for the current models, that is 22% and 5% respectively when lifetime through the upgrading service is extended by 50%. Future models should allow easier replacement of printed wiring boards so that an upgrade service offers more value for producers, customers and society.
