How on earth do you clean LCD TV screens smear free????

No matter what i try, soft cloths, paper towels, newspaper, window & glass spray, normal anti-bac spray even foam for TV screens I am always left with smears on the screen. During cleaning when the TV is off it is fine, they only show up during dark scenes.

So how do you clean them properly?

Microfibre cloth is best - and either water or something used for cleaning screens.

The trick is to use the absolute minimum quantity of cleaning agent. Water is often all you need but don't get the cloth above barely damp.Then finish off with a dry cloth immediately after which can reduce streaking.

Cheers guys thats looking a million times better. I always thought a good drowning would be best, never occured to me to only slightly dampen the cloth!

Very true... anything else BUT microfibre cloth leaves clusters of dust and smears.

I use a microfibre cloth in luke warm water rinsed out so that it is only just damp and i then apply medicore pressure and dry with a seperate microfibre cloth applying slightly more pressure to remove any remaining light smears and this is done in anti-clockwise circles....it comes up a treat.

Never use glass cleaner....it produces a glaze and lots of smears.
