  1. First, LCDs have soft plastic screens. They are easily scratched and a variety of chemicals will damage them.

    Some also have special coatings on the screen that are easily damaged

    Use only a very soft cloth on them-no paper towels.

    Second-no Windex or other cleaners.

    Most manufacturers recommend either a soft dry cloth or one that is slightly moistened with water.

    Read your manual. If you use anything except what they recommend, kiss your warranty goodbye.

    The other poster's alcohol recommendation is generally valid, but I wouldn't use it except in the case of something out of the ordinary getting onto your screen.


  2. You have to be very careful when cleaning LCD's. Too much pressure using the wrong kind of cloth will most likely scratch your display and could even burn some of its pixels.

    You've probably seen some of those expensive LCD cleaning solutions in computer stores right? The good news is that you don't really need these. Mixing up your own cleaning solution is very easy and will actually save you quite a few bucks. You only need 2 ingredients:

    -70% Isopropyl alcohol

    -Distilled Water

    The recipe is easy: Mix the Isopropyl alcohol and distilled water in equal parts (50/50) inside an empty Windex-like bottle. Do not use tap water! Doing so will leave white smears on your screen after cleaning it up because of the dissolved minerals inside the water. When finished mixing, just close the bottle using the "spray" adapter that comes attached to it.

    Next, you will need to find a good, soft piece of microfiber cloth to clean your display. Avoid paper tissues at all cost! Using those on your screen would be just like scrubbing sandpaper on it and may scratch it permanently. You wouldn't want to do that right?

    Now that we have everything we need, start by turning off your screen. Dampen your piece of soft cloth with your cleaning mixture and then wipe the display gently from top to bottom. Never spray liquid directly onto the LCD. When you're done, wait a few minutes to let your screen dry, and then turn it back on. Voila, you're done! Your screen should now be sparkling clean.

  3. Don't listen to the first answer.  Never use anything like windex to clean an lcd or plasma television.  I use a product made by Monster called ScreenClean.  It comes with its own specail cloth.  You can pick it up at Best Buy or I think even Walmart carries it or something similar.  It works well for removing dust and fingerprints and doesnt leave streaks.

  4. I spray windex on a towel and wipe. Be sure to dust first.
