Getting The Best Out Of Plasma Television: Maintenance Tips

So your first plasma television has been delivered to your home and you are little worried how the kids in your home are going to use it

. Kids can be ruthless when it comes to handling electronic equipment. It is but natural for you to expect them to mishandle everything right from the day you get it running in your living room. Of course educating your kids can go a long way in getting the best out of plasma televisions, but be prepared to see your kids getting rough with it once in a while. Televisions are built ruggedly to take the rigors of rough handling, but if you can put in that extra effort and care, they will give you all the pleasures that they built for.

Here are the maintenance tips you may want to consider. If you find the tips somewhat different from the ones you see on the operating manual then go by the manual; manufacturers cannot go wrong, and you will be approaching them anyway should something go wrong with it.

1.How you store your plasma is an important question. You will be storing them if you dont intend using them for a long time. So keep the original package rather than throwing it away. It will have everything to keep it safe. The other factors to consider are the humidity, dust and temperature. The cooler the location the better. High humidity can damage some critical component not to speak about the havoc that dust has on televisions.

2.If you are in the habit of leaving your television on even while it is not in use, then it is high time you put an end to end. They cost you electricity and money, besides reducing the life of your plasma television. Typically television give 10 or more years of trouble free service, and like all electronic devices efficiency drops as the years go by. It is very much like our human body. Use it but see that it is never misused.

3.One of the most often trouble with plasma television is they are prone to burn in and the culprit as you may have imagined is a still image left for extended periods. You can avoid burn in by either switching off the television when you are not watching or let it run a program. Either ways it will work well. Some plasma televisions have white flash that you can use to clear a burn in, but the down side is they shorten the screens life. The choice is really yours.

4.Yes, cleaning the screen is a must once in a while. Dust, soot and other stick substances can gather on the screen, and the screen itself is prone to damage from chemicals. So avoid touching the screen with bare hands. The roughages we carry on palm are enough to cause scratches. When you wipe the screen dont be tempted to use ordinary cloths. There are special anti static towels and cleaners special made for plasma screens. Even the solutions you use for cleaning the computer monitors can be helpful.

5.Do not keep the television close to heat generating equipment like the room heaters or even air conditioners. The heat that these equipment produce can not only damage the screen but even go beyond and damage the internal components. Air conditioners can produce enough moisture around and moisture entering the plasma television can shorten component life irreparably.

6.High and low voltages besides power surges can damage your plasma television. Of course there is no way to tell when power surges can happen. So a voltage regulator with surge control feature is a must for plasma television. Investing on power surge arrestors is really not a big deal compared to what you stand to lose should your television get damaged beyond repair. It is an investment worth considering. Dont forget that most equipment warranties dont cover damages caused by surges.
