How do you clean your Screen for optimum viewing? - Blu-ray Forum

Automission · 04-05-2009, 09:20 AM

Do you just wipe off the dust marks with a cleaning cloth, and apply pressure for the odd finger marks some git left? Or do you have a certain cleaning fluid that works?

I just try to use a cloth, and i rarely get finger print marks so it works okay. Except half the time the dust I wipe off the screen resettles back on it later. No matter how I try, my room is never dust free.

I have the same problem with dust. I live on the 4th floor in an apartment by a fairly busy (yet quiet) main road. The cars traversing on it obviously kick up a lot of dust, because I'm never without it. And it's only going to get worse once the windows stay open in Spring/Summer.

I'd love to hear some solutions as well on this topic.

First I do not allow anything to touch the screen or bezel so dust is the only thing to clean from it ! Once A week I dust it WITH >

Crazy, I have to ask. Does it scatch the bezel at all?

No, these are perfect little dusters.

Automission · 04-05-2009, 01:23 PM

So most of you use just an ordinary house duster?

If the TV is not touched in anyway & dust is the only thing that gets on it ! I see no reason to do anything but dust it off !!

For a wet clean I use a 50/50 mixture of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. Dampen a soft cloth like a micro-fiber cloth and wipe. Every manufactured mixture I have ever tried left streaks on my screen. The dusters are great for weekly dustings.

I use a microfiber cloth, but I use this one cloth to clean my screen and nothing else, as to not to introduce any other "particles" that I may have picked up if I had cleaned something else with it. I also just dust the TV with it, I have read to many horror stories about the use of alcohol and the "streaks" it may leave (this could be user error, but I'm not sure.) My opinion is that I just don't need to take a chance, so I use the dry micro-fiber cloth only.

I use the cleaning kit Monster sells. It's about 20 bucks, and will probably last you forever. It comes with the microfiber cloth that is machine washable. Just spray a little on the cloth, and then wipe down the screen.

Cisco in HD · 04-06-2009, 07:10 PM

I just use good ol' fashioned spit!

J/K

I use that monster cleaner liquidice uses. It's not bad, depending on how my OCD is I get irked by some faint white streaks it can leave behind.

Just a microfiber cloth for me, and I found using a Hepa, air cleaner
tends to help the dust problem for me.

starkent08 · 04-06-2009, 10:17 PM

those dusters scratch to i tried them i just use the air in a can and a feather duster

liquidice · 04-07-2009, 04:40 AM

canned air it great for any ledges around the glass, and for the fans behind the set...if you own plasma. I usually use the air for under my components as well, I don't always like to lift them up to clean. And my PS3 takes care of itself with the super-secret tweak you can do to rid itself of dust!!!
