The price of plasma TV sets have been dropping like a stone over the years, making them within reach of almost all middle class families. But, at the same time, there are few facts that everyone should know about their plasma TV.
A few people have been put off buying a plasma TV on the basis of a myth that has been spread, which is that these types of TVs only last 2-3 years before needing to be replaced. This is totally untrue, and the manufacturers of plasma TVs generally claim that you can watch them for at least 60,000 hours before they start to falter and fail.
Still, plasma TVs, as with most of the new breed of TVs, are relatively fragile, especially as far as the screen is concerned. Therefore, if you have a plasma TV, it is worthwhile buying a TV screen protector to minimize the risk of it getting damaged.
They cannot survive if toys, remote controllers, or any hard object strike them. Now you can very well understand what would happen if the kids hit it with a ball. A TV screen protector shields the screen and the glass from these types of damage. Good TV screen protectors provide a cushioning space that allows the TV screen protector to flex and absorb the blow before the object hits the glass or screen and breaks it.
Keeping your TV clean is important to maintaining the high definition picture. Dust particles that would normally get stuck to the plasma screen will be deposited on the screen protector and you will be able to clean them easily and with little fear of harming the TV with chemicals or sprays. This will also help keep the television looking like brand new years after installation. Stopping unwanted scratches and damage to the screen.
A properly designed TV screen protector will be thick enough, 6MM or roughly 1/4″ of an inch. It should be held off the TV a distance to allow it to flex, 1/4″ or so. It also should be held securely onto the TV. An ideal solution is a lip on the top of the TV screen protector that allows the TV to carry the weight of the TV screen protector and straps going around it to secure it on the TV.
