I have 2 boys also and they are always touching the screen.I use the Monster cleaning kit .

BB sells it for 19.99, come with a solution and the cloth in the kit, works like a charm.

what the ingredients are... monster is probably selling windex at 5000% markup?
or something. I would tend to think something very gentle... even distilled water and a cloth ought to be pretty good. Best source of distilled water is your breath.

I have a Sony SXRD (rear-pro) and a Vizio 32" LCD... I just use a damp cloth (I lightly spritz the cloth with water) to clean smudges and a dry cloth to finish up. Works like a charm, and it's free.

yep I first used the cleaning rag that came with my tv but that never worked then I tried the monster spray for 19.99 and it didnt run down the screen when you'd spray it, that worked very well...


use the search function next time thats how I found out about this exact topic....

if you do use any cloths try and make sure they aren't just any rags but microfiber cloths. these are usually better in preventing scratches and whatnot and are better at removing dust (im not sure but i dont even think you need to dampen them for the dust either)

I find the Monster product with a micro-fiber cloth works best. It has no ammonias or alcohol based components and doesn't damage the LCD screen. I would NOT use window cleaner or other over the counter cleaning products to clean a LCD screen. You'll find it damages the screen over time and gradually leaves it duller.

When I was in retail, we had a service department and they got me hooked on Methyl Hydrate. Alchohol leaves a film bit I always used M.H. and a micro-fiber cloth to buff. Looked like new everytime.

Many people swear by this product...

A cheaper solution is the lens cleaner product sold at Wal-mart. It's targeted for glasses but works well on lcds and other displays.
