Here are three things you should never do to your flat-screen TV.

1. Never underestimate the tipping potential

Although flat-screen TVs are lighter than the ancient ones, you should never underestimate the chances of it tipping from where you have placed it. Ensure that you have mounted it on the wall or use strong straps to hold it in case you have kids who will keep running and playing around. 

2. Using chemicals to clean the screen

If you wish to clean your the screen avoid using your perfumed cleaning products and opt for using only water and a soft cloth. This is because the chemicals can affect the screen and leave it with scratches.

3. Mounting your TV near or over a fireplace

Mounting your TV above a fireplace or near a fireplace is not a good idea if you wish to take care of your appliance. This is because the heat will shorten the lifespan of your TV and can damage the screen.
