TV Screen Protector

All television screen protectors on the market and sold online are made using optical grade acrylic or Lexan plexiglass. They are scratch resistant, and come in a standard or anti-glare format.

Some of the newer acrylics used in the anti-glare Tv screen protectors were developed for NASA and the automobile industry. THese anti-glare screen protectors work well on most LCD or plasma screens but may not work as well on computer monitors or larger LCD screens, usually screens over 55 inches.

It's important to measure your screen correctly before purchasing a TV screen protector.

Here's how to measure your screen: Measure your Plasma or LCD TV diagonally to discover the screen size. DON'T include the plastic frame when measuring, just measure from the corner of the glass part to the other corner of the actual screen.

View some TV screen protector sizes below.

• 35 - 37 inches
• 40 - 42 inches
• 45 - 47 inches
• 48 - 52 inches
• 53 - 54 inches
• 55 - 56 inches
• 57 - 58 inches

All TV screen protectors protect against thrown wii controllers, hyperactive pets that like pawing at the screen, toddlers who like drawing on things, kids who throw things (all kids throw things), kids with crayons and other forms of accidental contact.

If you purchased a warranty, it is probable that this warranty does not cover "accidental screen contact" resulting a shattered LCD screen.

All Television screen protectors on the market use a simple method utilizing Velcro straps to attach to your LCD or plasma television. The straps wrap around the back and the rubber bumbers or felt tabs keep the screen protector from resting on the frame of your television.

These "bumbers" act as shock absorbers and take the brunt of the force when the screen cover is jarred.

You need to decide if it's worth the risk. Thousands of plasma and LCD television screens get broken every month.

Do you have active tweens, pets or young children?

Is your house the neighborhood hangout that gets lots of traffic and activity?

Do you entertain a lot?

Here's the the problem....

You can't fix an LCD screen once it's broken and currently, a Tv screen protector is the only available solution.

Unfortunately, the LCD television screens can't be replaced separately. Is it worth spending another $1500 on a new flat screen television?

If you have kids of any age, you know better than anyone that accidents happen all the time.

Game controllers are one of the common ways LDC TV screens get ruined. In an instant, the person playing the game loses concentration or their grip on the controller and before they know it, the screen is ruined. Suddenly, the realization sinks in that it can't be fixed and that another $1500 needs to be spent.

Bottom line: There is risk in everything we do. We buy car insurance to mitigate the risk of getting in a car accident. We buy warranties for appliances and dental insurance for our teeth. We do these everyday things to ensure we're protected and to avoid financial losses. The same logic may apply when considering whether or not to purchase a TV screen protector.

A TV screen protector makes sense for millions of Americans.
