Methods to clean an LCD tv.

Just wondering what everyone does to clean their LCD tv's.

I just bought a new LCD tv and I want to keep it nice.

Mine doesn't collect dust on the screen. Guess it has a good anti static coating. I just use a microfiber to wipe the dust off the rest of it.

Yeah, just a microfiber towel is usually good enough, but you can use a 50/50 rubbing alcohol water solution when its off if you get anything sticky on it.

What are you doing so close to the tv that you get it "sticky?" It's wise to stand at least 10' away

will the screen dry itself, or should you go over it with another towel?

I would only use 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol. you can apply it directly with a microfiber towel. alcohol turns to H2O + O2 (water & oxygen) in no time and it will dry it self with no streaks. If you use distilled water it should dry with no streaks if the screen it clean.
