Ok to shine a flash light on a LCD HDTV?

Question

Will shining a high powered flash light on the screen of a LCD HDTV while its turned off (to check for scratches) hurt the tv?

Answer 1

unless it is extremely powerful and on for a long time it is highly unlikely to do any permanent damage.

Answer 2

No-using a flashlight on an LCD screen won't harm it.

Answer 3

yes...it might damage it....

Answer 4

As long as it doesn't get hot enough to melt the plastic in the TV, you are OK.  Some of those "high power" lights as you put it get pretty hot.

I hope this helps
