Things You Should Take Care Not To Do
Flat screen TVs have LCDs in them. It should be noted that LCDs are sensitive to water and moisture, so place the TV far away from windows where there might be a chance of water dripping it and destroying the television set.
Do not use ammonia, toluene or ethyl alcohol because this may affect the colouration on the screen for good and you might have to replace your television set.
