Tips to maintain an LCD

Once upon a time - I didn’t mean very long ago but just a couple of decades back we knew of very few homes that had TVs, but now, TVs are a passé and LCDs and Plasma TVs have taken their place. In fact LCDs have become more popular than the Plasmas because the former can support full high definition of 1080p screen resolution technology (the latter support a max of 720p technology). I am not going to differentiate between the two in this post. Here are some tips on how to handle an LCD television:

*See that the polariser surface does not receive any scratches, as the surface is very sensitive and soft which could be damaged by even a small scratch. Touching, rubbing, or pushing the polariser surface with any hard abrasive material is a strict NO.
*Keep the surface clean. Use hand glove before cleaning the surface of LCD screen. Use n-Hexane on an antistatic cloth and clean the surface.
*Water can spoil the LCD by an electrical short or corrosion. Remove water carefully if there is accidental spill of water.
*See that there is no sudden temperature and humidity changes in place where LCD is kept. An LCD cannot be used in areas of high temperature or high humidity.
*Keep the LCD away from corrosive gas as it can damage the circuit and/or the polariser of the LCD.
*Do not operate LCD under same pattern as it can damage the screen usage and turn the power off when not in use and change the use pattern regularly.
