The solution just needs to be better absorbed. Use a microfiber cloth

You need to get LCD screen cleaner to keep from streaking the screen. Check with a computer store or an appliance store that sells LCD screens and they can recommend the correct method for cleaning the screen.

Is there a process known to man that cleans windex streaks off an lcd screen?

How to Clean an LCD Screen
So, first of all, let's decide what we don't use to clean it:
Anything containing bleach or ammonia, such as Windex. That will react with the plastic and make the plastic screen become cloudy and discolored.
Anything sharp, pointy or abrasive.
Your easiest choice is one of those LCD cleaning solutions they sell in places where they sell computers. But they're expensive, and why bother when you can make your own solution for next to nothing?

What you'll need:
Distilled water (available at your supermarket; tap water leaves streaks and minerals).
White vinegar (you may substitute isopropyl alcohol; either way, make sure these substances are diluted before they come near your screen).
A clean, soft cloth (never use any kind of paper product).
A spray bottle.

Directions:
In the spray bottle, mix the distilled water and alcohol/vinegar, in a 1:1 ratio.
Turn off the LCD display.
Spray the mixture onto the cloth, never directly onto the screen.
Wipe gently - oh, so gently - from top to bottom. Do it horizontally, too, if you think that leaves a cleaner result.
Let the screen dry before turning it back on.

Hands Off!
Fingers leave dirt and oil smudges that must be cleaned off. Also, every time you touch the screen you risk doing damage to those tiny creatures inside that hold the colored flashlights. Keep your fingers to yourself.

I did something wrong.....

Windex is not the best cleaner. Bed and Bath Beyond has a very good NON-Streak class cleaner that I tell my customers to use. The best solution is NOT to Spray directly onto the TV Screen. Remember the glass is only delivering the picture from an RGB projection unit sitting inside the enclosure. It is not the electronic projector and the screen is separate. It can be replaced if damaged; however I believe it is only streaked and needs proper cleansing. If you get the new cleaner, spray the solution onto a soft cloth and wipe the exterior screen. Promptly wipe it dry and if you need to do this a few times, eventually you will get the glass clear and enjoy the show.

I have three black circles, and some color streaking at he bottom inch of my RCA, LCD tv

that is usually caused by cleaning the screen with windex the windex runs down the screen bewteen the screen and plastic frame and actually seeps inside between the screen layers. Eventually it may go away by itself if the circles are not too bad but in most cases the damage is permanent.It can also be an issue called screen delamination which there is no fix for.

I accidentally cleaned my samsung led monitor with windex. there are streaks all over the monitor. i used a soft cloth to try and clean off the streaks and it did not work. Is there anything I can do to...

Hello mrm552,
The best possible case is to use to a proper tv screen cleaner, ex. monster screen cleaner. The solution comes with a cloth. Spray the cloth with the solution first with one or two sprays. Then in a circular motion wipe the screen. You can get this solution at most electronic stores where they sell TV's. Hope this helps, good luck.

I sprayed windex on my flat screen and it burned streaks into the screen is there any way to remove them I have tried screen cleaners and alcohol

None of the cleaners you mentioned sould be used on the screen. It is damaged and can't be fixed.
The only cleaner to use would be warm water on a soft cloth.

It can be problem of LCD panel of your TV. An image of TV screen would help to diagnose correctly, if you can post it here.
Thanks.

How do you clean the screen on a panasonic flat screen tv

When I first got mine, I used Windex and a microfiber cloth to clean it.

Now, I use Phillips Screen Cleaning Gel. It does a better job and doesn't leave streaks like the Windex did at times.

Whatever you decide to use, the best thing to do is spray the solution on the microfiber cloth instead of directly on the screen.

Using a microfiber cloth will ensure you're not inadvertently scratching your screen.

My nephew spray windex on my dlp tv and not is in between both screens n it black but you can move the water still with your fingers

Well I'll say this. There has been no damage done yet. The problem is that the windex has wicked up in between the Lenticular screen and the Fresnel lens screen. If you attempt to seperate both screens yourself then I can guarentee you will damage both screens.
Not cheap to replace both screens. The screens CAN be cleaned with a screen cleaner from Screen Clean but the real problem is finding a Highly qualified technician who has done this many times before. The Fresnel lens screen is EXTREMELY soft and has tiny ridges that damage very very easily and you will see permenant black streaks in the picture. Never use Windex,Amonia or 409 and the like cleaners on the screens. When you use a screen cleaner, spray the cleaner on a MICRO cloth (Very Soft) then carefully clean the scree. Like I said, the screens can be cleaned safely only by a Highly skilled technician. The black spots from the windex will not eventually go away. Contact the tv manufacture as they can direct to a authorized service center they trust.
