Simple tips to help your Smart TV live longer

Turn off when not in use

The habit of leaving the TV screen on for too long will affect the life of the TV and waste electricity. On average, if the TV is turned on for 3 hours a day, the life of the product bulb will be significantly reduced (about 1,000 hours).

Turning it off when not in use is also a way to help the device last longer.

Therefore, if you do not watch TV, turn off the TV with the remote, then turn off the power button of the device. At the same time, you should also avoid the habit of using the TV for a long time and minimize turning the TV on and off continuously!

Clean Smart TV screen properly

Smart TV manufacturers recommend that when cleaning the device screen, users should only use soft, anti-static microfiber cloths, similar to those used to clean eyeglasses or camera lenses. In particular, the screen should be cleaned gently in a circular motion.

For stubborn stains such as fingerprints, you can lightly dampen a cloth with distilled water instead of spraying it directly onto the screen. Never use harsh cleaning agents such as alcohol, ammonia, or glass cleaner as they can destroy the anti-reflective coating and cause permanent damage.

Pull the cable gently.

HDMI, USB, and other inputs on modern TVs are prone to damage, especially on ultra-thin models. Unplugging cables the wrong way can bend the contacts, cause a choppy signal, or even damage the circuit board inside.

To avoid this, always unplug the cable by grabbing the connector and pulling it straight out, rather than applying force to the cable. If the corner is too hidden, use a flashlight or ask someone to hold the TV for you.

If you frequently change devices, such as game consoles or laptops, invest in an HDMI switch. This device stays permanently attached to your TV, allowing you to plug and unplug easily from a convenient location without worrying about damaging the original port.

Place the TV in a cool place

When operating, the TV is an electronic device so it tends to radiate heat from the cooling system slots inside the TV to the outside.

The ideal temperature for Smart TVs is usually between 5°C and 40°C, which is equivalent to normal room conditions.

Therefore, you should place the TV in a cool, dry place to avoid the heat escaping into a humid environment, creating conditions for mold and bacteria to grow, affecting the durability of the TV.

In addition, you should also place the TV about 10cm from the wall, creating enough space for the heat escaping from the TV to circulate into the air, helping to reduce the temperature emitted from the TV.
