I have one of those flat screen LCD TV's and its about time to clean it, because the screen is getting a bit dusty and dirty, so I'd like to know the proper way to keep the screen clean, because the instruction manual says not to use harsh chemicals, but what type of cleaning solutions can I safely use on this type of television without damaging it? appreciate y'all advice thanks.happy

What I do to clean my lcd is: I usually take two clean cotton clothes(like the dish ones).One of them is slightly wet and the other one dry. First I clean the screen with the wet one and then straight away to not to leave any marks on I dry the telly. That's it. It doesn't involve any chemical solutions that could damage your tv. Just water.

Hi, apples99. I think that Pledge wipes would be a good idea. They have the formula that you can use that is safe on appliances. I think that this would be fine to use. It will not damage your T.V. You should only use the formula that is suitable for your T.V.

Pledge wipes oh yeah I think I saw a commercial for those and they have a multi surface brand too, though I wasn't sure if they could be used for an HD set, well thanks for that info.happythumbup

How do you properly clean a flat screen LCD TV without damage?

I dont know about this as we have never owned an lcd tv long enough for it to need the screen cleaned
We did buy one - it stopped working within a couple of days so we just went back to using the old box type telly we have had for over a decade and its still in perfect working order

Aww you bought a flat screen and it broke goodness I hope you got a refund because most flat screens have a warranty of at least 1 to 5 years.

As for old box TV sets they do seem to have a longer shelf life then the newer models, but right now the only box set left in my place is showing signs of potential brake down thank goodness I now have 2 flat screens one was a gift.

Thanks for stopping in on this little topic maybe you'll learn somthing useful about flat screens too, somthing you can keep in mind for your next flat screen purchase cheers.happythumbup

There wont be a next flat screen purchase dear, this old telly of ours will last us all our days,

Oh we got a refund, here if you buy something in Wal Mart you can return it any time within a year and get your money back

I use two soft, clean cloths (like the ones you use to clean spectacles) and gently wipe the screen down. Don't wet the cloth keep it try and gather up as much of the dust and grime as possible.
