Tv Screen Protectors - A Worthwhile Investment Or Not?

A TV screen protector is a deceptively simple piece of hardware

. All screen protectors do basically the same thing. All are made from the same optical grade acrylic, which is cut and molded to fit the size of most TV screens. They are attached to your TV screen using Velcro straps and use small rubber or felt pads to rest against the frame of the TV.

Once attached they are almost invisible, though some lighting conditions can cause a slight reflection. In response to this, most online sellers of these screen protectors offer an anti-glare solution. Anti-glare, across the board, costs more but it may be worth the extra expense depending on your lighting situation.

Now, here are some commonly asked questions and the answers to them...

If an object strikes a thinner screen protector, there is a good chance the screen protector itself will flex and strike the surface of the TV with enough force to damage it.

- Are TV screen protectors really worth the money? You have to decide, knowing your own household better than anyone, if you can risk not having one. Thousands of TV screens get broken every day- yours could be next.
