It's very likely diethylphthalate, which is a common plasticizer in most plastics. It's what makes plastics flexible. When it gets hot, it can weep out and will stay on the surface. It looks like an oily liquid. The film that build up on the inside of your windshield is also diethylphthalate that comes from the plastics in the car. This is why the plastic gets brittle and cracks with age. Kind of unusual to have enough come out to see, though. Just wipe it off and continue to use the tv. No harm will be done.
Thanks, got your PM and replied but should have read this post before hand. This explains the way it was distributed on the chassis. It makes sense now. So in a sense it did "sweat" from the plastic.
Thanks again
