Wii Damage Prevention

TV Armor Screen Protectors

— June 3, 2008 — Tech
Some people get super excited when they play with their Nintendo Wii, which may lead to pretty awful accidents. Some may hurt themselves while others may damage their furniture or even TVs. It would really be frustrating if, in a moment of excitement, you broke your fancy LCD monitor with the Wii controller. To prevent those situations, you can now protect your precious home theatre with the TV Armor Screen Protector.

As mentioned on the manufacturer's site, the shield is made of crystal clear, optical grade, scratch resistant, acrylic. It shields the surface of the TV from sticky fingers, scratches, crayons, markers, and splashes, and also flying objects such as toys, Wii controllers, balls, and other objects that might hit your TV. TV Armor's clear design allows it to virtually disappear when placed on your Plasma or LCD TV.

The company sells the product in five sizes, based on the size of the TV you need to protect:

30"-32" $129
36"-37" $139
40"-42" $149
46"-47" $159
50"-52" $169

If your screen is bigger than 52'' then your out of luck, that is unless you got enough cash to make your own custom shield.

1. TV Screen Protection - Opportunity for innovative screen protectors to shield TVs from accidents and damage caused by gaming consoles like Nintendo Wii.
