    Question Cleaning LCD t.v screen... what do you use?

    I was told by a friend that they just use a windex type spray, I tried it & it left streaks.

    What does eveyone use to clean your LCD tv screen?

    I just want it to be clean & easily watch a program without seeing streaks or fingerprints!!

    TIA ladies

    I got a microfibre cloth with my tv which I use. I just dampen it and rub it over the screen.

    i think you can also use your glasses cloth and cleaner so long as whatever you are using is very soft and won't scratch.

    Also try on ebay as you can get the cleaning solution pretty cheap... don't get suckered into spending big $$$ at places like harvey norman for something that should and is fairly inexpensive.

    when we got ours, the installer told us ONLY to use the cloth that came with it. It is the same thing you would clean your glasses with only bigger. He said not to use any fluids or water as is detroys the oils in the screen and ruins it's integrity.

    I don't have a tv screen (because I don't have a tv) but for my computer screen I use the stuff we have at work designed for this type of screen.

    We don't have an LCD TV, but for my laptop I was told to use Lens cleaner (for glasses) and a microfibre cloth (also for glasses). It doesn't leave streaks and cleans it nicely.

    Windex has a warning on the back not to use it on LCD & plasma screens so I stay right away from that.

    I use the tiniest amount of water and then the cloth that came with the TV. Comes up brilliant with no streaks.
