I have repaired several flat screen TVs that have caught themselves on fire. I know that's not terribly interesting. There is one model of Philips LCD that I have seen fire damaged several times (I actually witnessed one catch fire on my bench too). A cold solder joint on the inverter transformer arcs and lights the board on fire. It just burns up the top of the board and surrounding components and the fire goes out. It is a plastic-backed TV, so it could catch the back on fire and be disastrous, but I have never seen that happen yet.
