How to Remove a Screen on a Rear Projection

Learn how to remove the screen on your rear projection television.

The screens on rear projection televisions are actually a relatively soft, flexible piece of plastic. This makes them relatively easy to damage--they can be damaged simply by walking by them and scraping something in front of them. Fortunately, the screens are easy to remove and replace.

Things You'll Need

• Screwdriver or adjustable wrench

Instructions

1. Take off the plastic frame that surrounds your television screen. Gently pull on one corner until you feel the screen come free. Continue around the edge of the screen until the entire screen comes free.

2. Remove the metal frame that surrounds the screen. Underneath the plastic, the screen is held in place by one, or maybe a few, metal pieces. These can be removed with an adjustable wrench or, possibly, a screwdriver. Be careful when removing these--it is possible that the screen could come free on its own and fall on you.

3. Carefully remove the screen, if it has not already come out on its own.
