If you've bought a new expensive TV and want to extend its life as much as possible, here's what you need to consider.

This equipment must not be placed near a radiator or other heat sources.

Maintenance of equipment

The screen should be cleaned periodically from dust and dirt.

For this purpose, it is recommended to use a soft dry cloth or special wipes for washing monitors.

No aggressive cleaning agents. They will easily damage the surface of the screen and the equipment will be hopelessly ruined.

Surge Protection

It makes sense to protect expensive models from voltage surges using stabilizers or uninterruptible power supplies.

If left untreated, power surges can cause damage to your TV.

Protection against mechanical damage

The equipment should be transported and installed with the utmost care.

In addition, it is recommended to choose a location for the TV so that children or pets cannot accidentally damage the device.

Software update

Another important nuance concerns software (SW). It needs to be updated regularly.

To do this, you should monitor the availability of firmware updates and install them.

This will improve the operation of the equipment and correct possible errors.
