Why!!!!!?????

[D1-2005]

If you can't get it off, I wonder could it be permanent? I mean if the finger that touched it had a corrosive material on it like some kind of chemical, it could eat thru the protective layer and leave a permanent finger print. Kind of like using something with amonia on it and taking the anti glare off.

I finalized my screen strokes by putting my hand inside a 100% cotton high thread count pillow case. i just did this when I moved, and the movers grabbed my plasma which had whole palm prints on the screen so you can imagine how much time it took me, but it worked!

LCD cleaner F'ed up my previous TV so whatever you end up using, be careful. I find that depending on the make and model, the screens can be made of different material that can react differently to various agents.

I used warm water and a microfiber towel with the TV off on my Elite and it worked great.

side note: movers packed my tv up with bubble wrap and now there are permanent bubble wrap marks on the outer bezel trim of the tv...i've tried using water and glass cleaner (without ammonia) along with micro fiber cloths...nothing seems to work....anyone have any suggestions?

Go all ninja on the movers?



I wouldn't think bubble wrap marks would be so hard to get off.

not sure what to tell you if the cleaners didn't work, but I could take a picture of mine, and it'd drive you crazy.....

22 month old hand prints over the entire bottom half of the screen..... I haven't cleaned it in over 2 years

Is that cause it is as high as you can reach Beta? What happened to the 3' 5" tall thing BTW -- or is there a height limit for Moderators? I will keep a secret if you want...
