How to clean TV screen: Things you should never use to clean your Smart TV's screen
AI Image
Keeping your TV screen clean is essential for enjoying crisp, clear visuals, but using the wrong cleaning materials can damage the delicate surface. Modern TV screens, whether LED, OLED, or QLED, have sensitive coatings that can be easily scratched or degraded. Before you begin, it's crucial to understand what to do and, more importantly, what not to do when cleaning your TV screen. To help you avoid costly mistakes, here's a list of things you should never use to clean your TV screen.
Paper Towels or Tissues
Paper towels and tissues may seem convenient, but they're too abrasive for TV screens. These materials can leave micro-scratches on the screen's surface or anti-glare coating, leading to a hazy or damaged display over time. Tissues may also leave lint behind, making the screen look dirtier.

Remember, your TV screen is not made of Glass per se. So do not use household glass cleaners to clean your TV Screen. Glass cleaners contain harsh chemicals like ammonia or alcohol, which can strip the protective coatings on TV screens. These chemicals may cause discoloration, cloudiness, or permanent damage to the display.
Alcohol-Based Cleaners or Rubbing Alcohol
Rubbing alcohol or cleaners with high alcohol content can erode the anti-reflective or anti-glare coatings on your TV screen. Even diluted alcohol can cause damage over time, especially on OLED or QLED screens, which are particularly sensitive.
Rough Cloths or Sponges
Kitchen rags, dishcloths, or sponges are often too coarse for TV screens. Even if they feel soft to the touch, they may contain debris or have a texture that can scratch the surface. Sponges with abrasive scrubber sides are especially dangerous.
Spray Bottles (Directly on the Screen)
Spraying any liquid, even water, directly onto the TV screen is a bad idea. Excess liquid can seep into the edges of the screen, causing internal damage to the display or electronics. This can lead to malfunctioning pixels or a completely dead screen.
Nail Polish Remover or Acetone
Nail polish remover or acetone-based cleaners are extremely harsh and will almost certainly destroy your TV screen's coating. These chemicals can dissolve protective layers, leaving the screen vulnerable to further damage.
Baby Wipes or Makeup Remover Wipes
While baby wipes or makeup remover wipes may seem gentle, they often contain chemicals, fragrances, or oils that can smear or damage the screen's coating. They can also leave streaks that are hard to remove.
Cleaning Powders or Detergents
Cleaning powders, like baking soda or Detergents are far too abrasive/hard for TV screens. They can cause visible scratches and permanently ruin the display's clarity.

Dell wants to set up AI factories in your office
Bengaluru: Dell Technologies is making the establishment of industrial-scale artificial intelligence infrastructure as easy as any other office equipment: fully assembled, ready to be bolted down and switched on. That's the idea of the firm's "AI factory" – a self-contained stack of servers, storage, networking and software that can be trundled straight into a data room and start turning proprietary data into working models within hours. "We already have about 2,000 customers running some parts of the factory," said Arunkumar Narayanan, Dell's senior vice-president for compute and networking, who sits out of the US but was in India recently. The idea arose when executives realised that most corporate AI pilots stalled not on algorithms but on plumbing: incompatible hardware, scattered datasets and a shortage of engineers who understand GPU clusters. "If data is your secret sauce you want the compute on-prem (not on cloud), yet nobody wants a two-year integration project," he argued. "So we just build the whole thing and let you wheel it in." Each factory is delivered in sizes that range from a single rack for proof-of-concept work to a warehouse-scale pod. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Every stack can be ordered with either air- or liquid-cooled accelerator trays. The latter is becoming the default as Nvidia's forthcoming Blackwell GPUs push past 1000 watts a card. "Twelve months ago nine out of ten racks we shipped were air-cooled; in two years, seven out of ten will be liquid," Narayanan said. Indian engineering lies behind much of the design. Dell's largest server team sits in Bengaluru and the mainstream two-socket racks that form the backbone of smaller factories are built at Sriperumbudur, near Chennai. While the company still assembles its flagship AI nodes in other regions, Narayanan hinted that a dedicated Indian line "is only a matter of demand". Local demand is not in doubt. On a recent tour, Narayanan met Mumbai banks seeking faster fraud detection, the National Stock Exchange looking to accelerate the world's busiest order book, and outsourcers keen to offload customer support onto generative chatbots. All wanted the same thing: cloud-like flexibility without surrendering sensitive data. That, Dell believes, is exactly what an AI factory provides. "You decide the use-case, we ship the factory, and your model starts working within hours of arriving on site."

With robots & drones dominating warfare, DIAT sets up robotic lab
Pune: Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) has established a laboratory to conduct advanced research in robotics and drones for both military and civilian applications. The lab is equipped with various robotic models, including quadrupeds, providing practical exposure to students and officers from the armed forces studying at Military Institute of Technology (MILIT). The primary goal of this facility is to foster collaboration in research and enhance the application of robotics in modern warfare and defence operations. "As robotics and drone technology evolve rapidly on a global scale, it is essential to study these subjects in depth. Therefore, providing advanced practical exposure is crucial in this field of study. This lab will achieve these objectives," RK Satpathy, Director of the School of Robotics, told TOI. He said that the dedicated lab was established on campus to facilitate collaboration between MTech students and armed forces officers at MILIT. Previously, students completed projects with military personnel, and now they will focus on developing military applications for robotics and drones. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo DIAT is the only deemed university under Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and offers a dedicated MTech course in robotics since 2016. Students from this institute often join DRDO labs as scientists. "We received several functional robotic models from Research and Development Establishment (Engineers) lab in Dighi. Our students worked in that lab to enhance their understanding of robotics and associated technologies," said officials. As military operational requirements are extremely dynamic and demanding, it is necessary to know the 'problem statements' of the forces. "Then only researchers can work on niche technologies to achieve the operational requirements of the forces," said armed forces officers who worked in robotics systems. "The use of robotics in actual field operations is at a very primitive stage in the Indian armed forces. Therefore, it has become necessary for the forces to do adequate research to achieve global standards in this field. Such laboratories would certainly make a positive difference in the future," a senior officer from MILIT said.
