[LIST] [*]Some common activities that can cause physical damage are: [*]Finger pressure when trying to move or turn the television. [*]Spraying liquid cleaner on the screen, which can enter between the screen layers. [*]Slight flexing or bending of the panel when trying to move it. [*]Burning, warping, or melting due to an external heat source. [*]Extreme heat, cold, humidity, or moisture can permanently damage the display a flat screen TV. [*]Humidity can short out circuitry inside the TV. [*]Extreme heat or cold can disrupt the ability of the pixels to change color properly. [*]Flat screen TV's use a considerable amount of energy when compared with other home electronics. Fluctuations in electricity levels, either from problems with your energy provider or from connectivity issues in your home, can fry circuitry and damage pixels. Using a surge protector at all times helps to mitigate this threat. [*]Burn-in occurs on a screen when a static image is prolonged on the screen for an extended period of time -- the pixels on the television become stuck in a fixed position, Be sure not to leave a static image, like a paused movie, on the screen for extended periods of time, and don't leave menu screens idle for too long.
