Cleaning my hdtv screen

Hi, LCD screen is quite different with crt screen. You should be careful while do cleaning. Unplug the power supply before do cleaning.
How to clean lcd screen: You can use isopropyl alcohol, hexane, petroleum benzine, glass cleaner with ammonia free.Apply the liquid to soft and clean cloth then wipe your screen. Repeat the steps until your lcd clean
Grease look on screen? Just use dampen cloth with water instead use above liquids as the may smear the contaminant across the screen.

these tvs have a thin layer of plastic over the outside of the screen. no chemicals are to be used except for the special screen cleaning solution made for lcd tvs. try purchasing one of those screen cleaning kits from your local electronics retail stores and see if the haze can be removed if not the screen is damaged and there is no fix except to replaced the screen.

Hi,
Soft cotton cloth would be fine to clean front screen of TV. Do not use any liquid or detergent in cleaning.
Thanks.

Use the cheap eye glass cleaner Wal Mart sells in the eye department.  Their cleaner is safe for glass surfaces, cleans real nice, and helps repel dust.

Dont even think of removing the screen.....virtually impossible to reinstall. If you must clean...clean the picture tubes. Blow the dust off the lenses with air spray, then spray a lint free cloth with a lcd, plasma cleaner. Try not to use windex. [leaves a film on plastic lens] . Now pay close attention because the mirror you try to clean is a reflective plastic sheet that can tear easily. Lightly brush a new feather duster on this. Now you can only do this by removing the lower back cover [a hard cardboard material] and dislocate your elbo to clean . You can clean the inside of screen with the feather duster, donot use a cleaner inside the screen or mirror. Relocate the old elbo and replce the lower back cover.

Things You’ll Need:

* Television screen cleaning products
* Cleaning schedule
* Microfiber cleaning cloth

Clean Your HDTV Screen Properly
Step1
Read the warning labels on all your household cleaning products. Even glass cleaners might not be suitable for use on an HDTV screen, so check the manufacturer's warnings before you apply anything to the screen.
Step2
Keep chemical cleaners away from your HDTV on cleaning day. The harsh chemicals found in most common cleaning products will actually cause more harm than good.
Step3
Leave liquid cleaners under your sink when cleaning your HDTV screen. A liquid cleaner, whether it be water or a chemical cleaner, will drip down the screen and work its way into the interior of the TV, causing damage to your HDTV. You will be able to easily recognize when this happens, because your screen will develop smudges.
Step4
Use a cloth to clean the HDTV screen. Ideally, you should use a cloth that is recommended for HDTV screens, computer screens and other electronics. The word "microfiber" may be imprinted on the packaging.
Step5
Wet the microfiber cloth slightly. Just a hint of dampness is all you need. If water runs out of the cloth, then it's too wet and will cause smudges.
Step6
Develop a regular cleaning schedule for your HDTV screen. If you dust the screen daily, or at least several times a week, with your microfiber cloth, no other maintenance should be necessary. Not only will frequent cleanings make caring for your HDTV easier, but they will also enhance your viewing experience.
Step7
Prevent messes by asking family members and guests not to touch the television screen. You should also try to make sure children with sticky fingers do not come in contact with the screen.
Step8
Use a high-end cleaning product if you feel that regular dusting is not sufficient. Top-of-the-line television cleaning products are ideal for use on all HDTV screens, plasma screens, projectors and are safe to use around children and animals.

I highly recommend using an LCD screen cleaner occasionally to remove dust and debris that can collect over time - I use this on both my computer and television:

Hope that helps.

I wouldn't use the screen cleaner as I have seen it discolor the Front panel of the plasma before. Then the panel needs to be replaced.
Just put a small amount of water on a VERY soft clothe and clean it like you would a window. Do not spray onto screen as that can cause problems.

the trim on the screen pops off and behind that trim are screws that hold the screen in place...once you remove the screen you can clean the lenses and the mirror and maybe get a cleaner clearer image

You have to be careful when cleaning HDTV screens- some (like LCDs) are sensitive to pressure and should you press hard enough you could effectively crush the electronics in that part of the screen and turn them into an irreversible black spot.

Personally, when I have to clean my screens, I buy commercial screen cleaner and a pack of disposable lint free cloths. Spray the cleaner on the screen, then wipe it with the cloth. Don't use a lot of spray (one pump at a time) and make sure you do this when the screen is off and let it dry completely (about 1-5 min) before turning it back on.

NEVER EVER EVER SCRAPE ANYTHING OFF A FLAT PANEL SCREEN OF ANY TYPE!!
