Should you lay a TV face up or down?
Should you lay a TV face up or down? If you ever move your TV, keep it upright at all times. They’re designed so the weight is evenly distributed when they’re standing up. If laid down, they’re no longer balanced, so gravity can pull the edges down. Then, potentially, the screen will crack.
Can you leave a TV in a cold garage?
It’s OK to put a TV in your garage in all but the most extreme conditions. Most TV manufacturers allow for an operating range between 40º F- 100º F (4º C – 37º C) and recommend a relative humidity level of 80% or less.
How long should a TV last?
The average lifespan of a television varies between 4 and 10 years (approximately 40,000 – 100,000 hours) depending on usage and maintenance. Turning off your TV is one of the simplest things you can do to extend its lifespan.
Why can’t you transport a TV flat?
It’s best to keep it upright. The front glass can be quite heavy, and it’s designed to accommodate this weight while upright. Laying your TV flat can disrupt that weight distribution and increase the risk for cracks to develop.
