- In almost all cases, the extra care you put on a LCD screen (or anything
- hi-tech) does not generate much marginal longevity (if any) for the appli-
- ance, so before your LCD screen breaks down you will probably have bought
- another machine. But, it never hurts to use things wisely and with care.
