Does anyone know of a good product to do this with? I've purchased some wipes that were SUPPOSE to have been made for this, but it just streaks it.

Help? :D

I bought some microfibre cloths that work well! One is used just damp the other polishes, no chemicals just water!

I use two micro fibre towels ... one slightly damp, the other dry. Wipe with damp first then dry it right away to avoid streaks.

I looked it up on the internet when we got our TV and it says a damp cloth only Windex made mine very streaky and it will not go away. Myself I like the muted dusty look! LOL

I'm a damp cloth duster all the way! Wood, glass, TVs, computer, most everything! I just feel like most dusting is about using something wet to dampen a cloth or papertowel so I just use water on a microfiber or soft terry hand towel. Barely damp though or you do need a dry towel as well :-)

My instruction book said to use only water on the screen and to make sure the tv was off. I got a little cloth when I purchased the tv that I use..or a microfiber towel.

i got some stuff at best buy..blue liquid in a clear spray pump type bottle..cme with a microfiber cloth.
it cleans it up really good..almost looks like a wax..you buff it as your wiping it clean. i used it on all my tv's and my laptop.
sorry i can't remember the name of it..i will see if i can find it..

When we got our TV, we were told NEVER EVER EVER spray anything directly onto the screen itself. But to spray your towel or whatever it is you are going to be using to clean the screen and to make sure that the TV is off. We were also told the same thing about our Computer monitors. I use Windex sprayed onto a peice of fleece scrap that way it won't scratch the screen.
