Maintenance Tips To Increase Your Tvs Longevity

With the digital age truly upon us, it seems we are surrounded by new technology

, from phones that are more powerful than old desktop computers to TVs that are as flat as a picture. However, while this new gadgetry might bring a lot of potential, it certainly doesnt always come cheap and in such times of economic recession, everyone is looking for ways to save some of their hard earned cash.

A good starting point is to look after the possessions you have, and therefore save yourself the trouble of having to replace or repair anything. This article will provide a few useful tips on how you can give your TV a longer lifespan:

-If you own a plasma TV then there are certain precautions that should be taken, as these TVs can generate quite a significant amount of heat which can in turn damage the TV itself. Whenever possible, avoid leaving the TV on, particularly when there is a still image on the screen. If a plasma TV is left with one image on it for an extended period of time it will begin to burn that image into the screen, leaving a permanent imprint of it. Adjusting the contrast levels can also help to lessen this effect; lower contrast means the phosphorus will not burn as fast.

-When storing your TV it is a good idea to keep it in its original packaging, especially if you wish to transport it. Many people do this with a variety of electrical appliances, and while it might be irritating trying to find a home for all the boxes, theres no doubt that it pays off in the long term. It is also good practice to store it somewhere that is cool, dry, and dust free.

-Maintaining a clean environment for your TV can also add to its lifespan. The static from a TV will collect dust, which can then lead to electrical shorts inside the TV, furthermore if a TV generates a lot of heat and has a significant amount of dust in it, it could be fire hazard.

-If you choose to clean your TV then take the same precautions you would with a computer monitor, a simple discharge of static electricity can leave lasting damage to the screen. Avoid getting the TV wet at any cost; ISO-clean, anti-static cleanser, and an anti-static cloth are all suitable for the job.

-A surge protector is a useful protective measure for most electrical appliances. With many people integrating their TV with the other components of their home cinema system, the demand on household electrical systems can often be quite high.
