How to Protect Your LCD or LED TV

Protect Your LCD and DLP TV Screens with a Custom Screen Protector

LCD TVs, DLP TVs, and LCD computer monitors have soft screens that are highly susceptible to damage. If a screen is damaged, the cost of repair can be as high as replacing the entire TV or monitor.

With action-packed gaming, active households, and young children, the risk of screen damage increases. Workspaces with LCD monitors are also prone to accidental impact. Fortunately, a custom-built screen protector offers a cost-effective solution, providing peace of mind while keeping your screen safe.

How to Order a Custom Screen Protector

To ensure a perfect fit, you’ll need to take four key measurements from your TV or monitor:

1. Width: Measure from edge to edge. If your TV has speakers on the sides, measure only to the edge of the screen to avoid covering them.

2. Height: Measure from the top of the TV down to where you want the protector to stop. If your TV has a speaker at the bottom, measure just above it. Ensure any controls along the bottom remain accessible.

3. Depth: Measure from the top edge of the TV to the back corner where the hanger will grip.

4. Depth of Hook: Measure from the top of the TV down to the point where the back hook will hold the screen protector securely in place.

Custom Adjustments

If your TV has controls on top or an irregularly shaped back, an L-shaped top can be designed instead of the standard J-shaped top. This will be secured using clear double-stick tape or adhesive-backed Velcro for easy removal.

Ordering Options

Take your measurements to your nearest TAP Plastics store, and we will custom-build your screen protector.

Provide your dimensions and specify your preferred material type.

Available Screen Protector Styles

We offer three styles of screen protectors:

• Standard Acrylic: Crystal-clear with a shiny surface for an unobstructed view.

• Abrasion-Resistant Acrylic: A highly durable option that is resistant to scratches.

• Non-Glare Acrylic: Reduces distracting reflections for improved viewing comfort.

If ordering online, please note that shipping costs may vary based on the screen size and delivery location. We will provide a price quote before finalizing your order.

Installation and Maintenance

When you receive your screen protector, it will come with protective masking. Remove this masking just before installation to minimize static and dust buildup.

Cleaning Instructions

To maintain a bright and dust-free screen:

• Use a soft cloth or a cleaner like Brillianize.

• Do not spray cleaner directly onto the screen; instead, spray the cloth and then wipe the surface.

• Avoid paper towels, as they can scratch the protector. We recommend using a special towel, such as a Lint-Free Wipes, available at TAP Plastics.

Cost Estimate

Pricing varies depending on size, material, and customization. As an example, a screen protector for a 42-inch TV costs approximately $150 plus shipping.
