Thread: tv glass/screen

Cannot answer this right now. Will be seeing people who will know if there is an answer in the new year.

Lesson for everyone here. A modern TV screen has a film on it which is not just for glare it is to help with the picture you see.

Only ever clean it with a lens cloth normally supplied with the TV and a little (just damp) water. Do not rub hard as this will also remove the film.

The answer to the OP's question is contained in the two previous posts.

Yes I figured that even with clean, film free glass the picture may be affected (colours/brightness etc)

The TV will be placed on the southern side facing south so less chance for it to catch glare...Id rather have a go at keeping it than just adding to landfill. This was a very good TV, GREAT stand alone sound.

To be fair, he has a point. If computer screen/lens type cleaner put a dinner plate sized hole in the non-glare film without damaging the glass underneath, then polish the remainder of the screen with more of the same lens cleaner. I'd be more worried in figuring out of the non glare layer can be replaced though...

Must admit, I had a little laugh at this thread, please don't be offended, my sense of humour is strange sometimes.

I didnt use said cleaner or know what it is/was. I highly doubt the non-glare layer can be, my guess is its done under very controlled conditions, could even be sprayed on??

As I said, the TV is NOT digital, just trying to keep it for games or outdoor area, rather than landfill....if it doesnt work out atleast I gave it a go.
