Is it OK to lay a flat screen TV on its back?
You aren’t going to damage the internal workings of your flat screen TV by laying it flat. That being said, even though laying your TV down flat won’t cause internal damage, it could be a recipe for external damage. There’s a complex balancing act going on in the way that flat screen TVs are constructed.
Can TV screens crack by themselves?
No. There is always a cause but it isn’t always from something someone did. Anything that stresses the screen can do it – heat, cold, manufacturing defects, an unseen crack from being dropped that suddenly gets worse…. A screen will not just crack if it’s in perfect condition with no stress.
What happens if you leave a TV on too long?
If you leave a static image on a TV for a long time, you run the risk of burning it into the screen. It’s more likely that it will happen with a plasma than it is with a LCD. If you only watch something for a few hours, the stuck image will disappear.
Can you lay down LED TV for transport?
LED TVs aren’t supposed to be laid flat during transportation because the screen isn’t designed to support its own weight. You can lay it flat for a few minutes but should never transport it this way. If you lay it flat while transporting it, the screen on the LED TV could crack or warp.
Is it bad to lay a TV on its side?
Nothing is going to settle at the bottom of your screen no matter how many years it stands on your table or hangs on your wall or sits in the moving truck if you’re moving long distance. No, it’s not going to harm your TV internally to lay it down.

What is the best position for a TV to be placed?
First of all, it’s always best to put the television on eye-level. This is best so that when you are seated, you’re not straining your neck or eyes by looking up or down to see the screen. Usually, about 4 feet off the ground is good. Then multiply the diagonal width of the screen by three to determine the best viewing distance.
Should a TV be in the middle of a living room?
Don’t let the abnormality of a TV restrict your living room palette or clash with furnishings. The best viewing angle for you is straight on at eye-level so your head is in the middle of the screen, while the TV should sit about 4 feet off the floor. If you can help it, avoid placing the TV on or over the fireplace for several reasons.
