I use window cleaner, it is glass after all.

Also do you find that you screen heats up the room, making it really hot in the summer. (my screen being 42inch)

You should have used stuff that's meant for plasma cleaning!!

Try this: http://www.plasmaclean.co.uk/

It's amazing how many people buy expensive equipment and yet ruin it by not taking care of it.

Most of them are made from various types of plastic. Furniture polish can damage some of them beyond repair. Only a damp cloth or the specially formulated cleaners should be used.

me neither, but have you seen the price of that stuff.

Is it any good. Or is it like the "ipod" cleaner, which I was told the best thing to clean my Ipod with, as it would make it shine and be all clean. I found that it was no shinier then before, also it was not that dirty in the first place, and that just a whip over with a damp cloth done the trick. Noy only was it rubish but the cleaner was just polish in a small pot, I could have brought the same stuff in tesco, and got a large pot for less money.

I bought some "proper bo" Plasma cleaner and on first application it has helped a bit.
After another few cleans it should be a lot better but i doubt it will be back to what it was.
For that i'll have to send it to a local agent for repair.

Save your money - just use ordinary window cleaner.
I've been using it on my plasma screen for three years and its still like new.

Mix up 50/50 water and vinegar in a small dish, use a barely damp cloth to wipe it down, making sure there are no dribbles anywhere.

The only thing is, it smells loke a chip shop for half an hour...

But it will be clean.
