The grandbrats have been wiping their sticky paws on our Philips LCD TV
screen. Wiping it with a slightly dampened microfibre cloth and then
drying with another has left streaks.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how we can get the screen really
streak-free and clean again?



Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll have a look around and try to find an
IPA-based product.

BTW, Windex appears to be a left-pondian product, unavailable here AFAIK.
Is there a UK equivalent?

Peter,

I use a soft tissue moistened with 'Windowlene' spray on my TFT screens and
it has never damaged one yet. It may take you a couple of goes to get all
the sticky marks off and shift all the smears but it does work well. I wet
the tissue for badly contaminated screens, but never drench it so much the
liquid can run into the display surround.

Never use kitchen towels though- they can and do cause scratching! Use the
softest tissues you can find, or a soft cotton cloth. Don't push firmly as
LCD screens are easy to crack!
