led tv protector image

i know you should use a micro fiber cloth or whatever theyre called (i have one) i was just wondering what liquid cleaner i should use. I heard that there are certain cleaners that permanently smudge or darken the screen so i want to be careful. i also heard there might be different cleaners depending on whether the tv is LED or LCD. thanks for any help you can give
Answer
The 'smudging' is because someone uses strong ammonia-based cleaner and it dissolves the anti-glare coating or hazes the plastic protector screen.
The little $10 Monster screen cleaning kits are probably your best bet.
You can make your own cleaner with grocery store alcohol and distilled water. You want a 50:50 ratio of the alcohol (so if your rubbing alcohol is 70% solution you use more water). Spritz the screen while it is cold and let it sit for a minute to work (because this is a weak solution), the gently wipe with the cloth. Do not rub at a spot but re-spray, wait, wipe.

Why did my TV signal get weak and the networks change channels?

I recently got a new big screen TV. Shortly after I got it home, we had a bad storm and the power went out. The next morning, when we turned it on, it could only find a few of the channels we had before. Some of them can be found by typing in the channel numbers, but most of the channels are different now, the local channels are static and the provider says it's something in the house, not in the line or service.
Answer
Most likely, you made the number one mistake of TV and video equipment owners: failure to use a surge protector. People will spend thousands on an HDTV, then fail to spend another $40 to protect it from the necessity of a very expensive repair bill. Voltage surges on the power line are a *very* common cause for electronic equipment failures, especially HDTVs.
Your TV most likely has been damaged by a voltage surge on the power line, common during storms or other power outages. It might be repairable under warranty if failure to use a surge protector doesn't void the warranty.
You may have to take it to a service shop. While it's in the shop, visit the electrical department of a large hardware store and buy yourself two surge protectors. Donât get the cheapest you can find. Those selling in the U.S. for around $10 to $15 are little more than power strips. You should expect to pay in the range of $30 to $50 or more for a unit that will confidently protect a few thousand dollars worth equipment.
Check the specs on any surge protector youâre considering. Look for the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) label, a transient or clamping voltage of 330 volts (U.S. systems), and a joule rating in the thousands (2000 to 4000 or more).
Be sure to plug all of your electronics into the surge protector: TV, DVD player, cable or satellite box, home theater receiver, surround sound amplifier. etc. The second one is for your computer and its peripherals (printer, scanner, Internet modem, router, etc.). If itâs electronic, itâs at risk for surge damage.
Surge protectors come with a monitoring circuit that continually tests its quality. When itâs providing full protection, an LED or other light is illuminated and remains steady. If the light goes out or begins to blink, the surge protector should be replaced. (It can still be used as a power strip but not a surge protector.)
