You people with the fantastic IQs really have to know not everyone is equipped with you know how.
Like developed mental people and others.. you promote a disaster and you will more than likely cause a disaster.
If your anything like those spectators that promoted that kid in chat online to kill himself, then your are a cold-hearted embarrassment to the Internet community. P.E.R.I.O.D.
Wake Up!! there really are people, kids, who would this, & you'll laugh.. of-course..

Make a one in ten dilution using one part methylated spirits and nine parts water. Use a soft cloth dampened with the solution (important, damp ... not dripping wet). I use nappy liners because they are cheap, soft and absorbant. Afterwards I give a soft rub using a Chamois lens cloth to remove any lint, fluff or streaking and smudges. The lens cloth is cheap and available from most opticician's or good camera shops.

A damp sponge also does the trick, but you could end up dripping water into the keyboard if you don't wring out the excess water properly ... so I find my solution above a better bet.

Ok, I was wondering about this. I just got a desktop PC with a TFT monitor and I just dusted it and the screen bleeds or something, is this normal and ok?

Thanks

I have always liked the blue window cleaner spray. Do not spray directly on the screen, but rather on a soft clean cotton cloth, e.g., a not entirely new t-shirt or dish towel. Spraying directly on the screen may (1) be too strong a solution and (2) short out the connectors on the sides of the screen; don't so that.
In extreme circumstances (long flight or distant land) a little vodka on a cloth will do the trick. It takes something a little stronger that water to remove oily fingerprints and smudges, and soaps leave a film.

Use a damp cloth to clean the finger prints then use a softer cloth the dry those areas you cleaned. Use a microfiber cloth afterwards to go over the whole tv. I just did it and that is why I'm posting this.

Well, I don't know about safety

but you can't use glass cleaner on a plasma screen. It smears. You have to use water.

PLASMA SCREEN CLEANING

by beaton1053 - 3/7/08 12:31 PM In reply to: Plasma Screen by sannit4

I have a 50" plasma and 37" LCD and the best thing to clean with is Microfiber Suede, soft and gentle. You can buy some expensive versions, but I found a cheap source at www.eriecotton.com. Large 16" towel for about $4.00 a towel.

This product is a great polishing cloth, and I use it on my glasses too.

For plasma and Lcd cleaning I use it dry to dust and for smudges etc
slightly damp and gentle wiping.
