Best way to clean an LCD/Plasma TV?
 

We have a TV in the kitchen, needs cleaning every month or so. Water? Rubbing Alcohol?

I would assume the same way you would clean a laptop lcd screen. I use eyeglass cleaner in a spray bottle - or windex in a pinch - and a soft cloth. Spray onto the cloth, not the screen so you don't get that stuff running into the electrics.

That will work or get a pack of computer screen wipes, I think they are just moistened clothes with alcohol. One wipe will clean several screens.

The instructions for the two LCD TV's we have both say DO NOT use anything containing alcohol or ammonia to clean the screen. Both recommend just a clean, dry very soft cloth.

I don't know about LCD's but I clean my plasma with just Windex since it is glass.

vinegar and water solution??

fine grit sandpaper, putty knife and oooo steel wool

hook, that may do more harm than good....

Cordless Makita grinding wheel for the tough stains.

moses..i must disagree with you as well. i have serious reservations concerning the utility of such a device on lcd/plasma screens (scratching/scoring is indeed possible). i don't know..if i'm the only one, i'll shut up...........

water moistioned flannel cloth, old shirt stuff. easy on the rub, looks real good. take a soft toothbrush to the edges.

The key to cleaning any screen or glass is to NOT use paper towels. Almost any cleaning solution will work, just make sure you don't wipe it with a paper towel.

Paper towels are composed of fine pieces of wood particulate held together with a binder solution. This binder solution is what turns to liquid (it is normally a flexible solid) when the cleaning solution is introduced. The result is that you end up spreading liquified binder and unbound particulate all over your screen or window. Not what you want. The correct wiping device is a clean cotton rag, or better yet, a microfibre towel made specifically for this application.

Also, never use a dryer sheet or bleach when you wash/dry your rags.

This is something you need a forum for? Common sense or at least google it. Embarrassing

Acetone should clean it real well...

Aah, I know the problem.

Quit tuning in to Fox. There probably is a V-chip that will allow you to permanently eliminate the grease.

Eliminating the accumulated slime may prove more difficult. Some think the right (wing) solution is a higher concentration of alcohol. You may find red 180 proof not enough.

Usually blue spring water and biodegradable soap will work.

I know, I know, we're pathetic!!!

Except I work in a television facility that has 22 different monitors of varying sizes and compositions which all need to be cleaned on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I've become somewhat of an expert on the subject.

How could you negligent SOBs forget the belt sander?

I take mine outside and use the sand-blaster with aluminum oxide media for heavy cleaning. Pressure washer works well to clean off the residue...

Okay, seriously, I use a microfiber cloth on our plasma, dry. It takes off the occasional 2 yr old fingerprints just fine. Fore heavy grease, dunno. They are very specific about not using cleaners...

BEAUTIFUL!! +1
