i know you should use a micro fiber cloth or whatever theyre called (i have one) i was just wondering what liquid cleaner i should use. I heard that there are certain cleaners that permanently smudge or darken the screen so i want to be careful. i also heard there might be different cleaners depending on whether the tv is LED or LCD. thanks for any help you can give
I never heard of an LED tv. Where did you get it? Go back there and ask them.
Well I have heard of a LED tv and your best bet is buying a cleaning kit. Any electronics store will tell you the correct kit to buy. I hope it’s the same as a LCD, but I don’t want to give you wrong information
The ‘smudging’ is because someone uses strong ammonia-based cleaner and it dissolves the anti-glare coating or hazes the plastic protector screen.
The little $10 Monster screen cleaning kits are probably your best bet.
You can make your own cleaner with grocery store alcohol and distilled water. You want a 50:50 ratio of the alcohol (so if your rubbing alcohol is 70% solution you use more water). Spritz the screen while it is cold and let it sit for a minute to work (because this is a weak solution), the gently wipe with the cloth. Do not rub at a spot but re-spray, wait, wipe.
The guys at Revision3 have a show on making your own screen cleaner if you want to see it.
