Anyone have good advice on how to clean glossy LCD tv screens?

[ManBearPig]

Specifically Samsung ultra clear panels? It's high time for me to clean this damn tv but I don't know what is considered ok and what's not.

Thanks

As much as I'm not a fan of Monster brand cables, their TV cleaner is pretty nice.

Sure, you can do cheaper, but I think it does a good job, comes with a microfiber cloth, and an extra bottle if you have two TV's.

Also does a KILLER job on glasses

A few tips.
Never spray anything on the screen directly, spray it on the cloth or you will get windex syndrome.
Never use anything containing alcohol or ammonia.

Distilled water + vinegar works great and will not harm the display or plastic. It has to be distilled water, tap water will leave spots.

1) Soft cotton cloth
2) Warm water
3) Mild dish washing detergent

I use a well worn undershirt and some warm tap water to dust my tv screens

It should have come with a microfibre cloth. If it's only dusty use just the cloth. If it has finger prints on it then try using a little distilled or filtered water on the cloth. That's what I use on my glossy 50" plasma TV screen. Use chemicals or cleaners, i.e., Klear Screen as a last resort.

On laptops and LCD computer monitors I still use a 50:50 mix of distilled water and 70% isopropanol (never use ethanol) and a microfibre cloth. You can substitute white vinegar for the isopropanol. I've never had a problem using isopropanol and it evaporates quicker than a water/vinegar mixture.

With the newer coatings on LCD monitors and TVs manufacturers are now suggesting to not use any alcohol containing cleaners.

use distilled water and an old newspaper.

Might work for windows, but bad advice for cleaning a TV screen. DON'T use any paper products to clean an LCD TV screen. Paper fibers can scratch the screen.

I'd just add that you should never use tap water to clean an LCD screen. Use distilled water only.

If your near a Lenscrafters store pick up there eye glass cleaner
and towelettes. No film, no scratching.

Good for monitors, TV, Phone, and of course your glasses.

I've been using them for years.
