And don't spray directly on the screen, spray it on the shirt/sock/cloth.

If your looking for the best solution, get a good micro-fiber cloth, such as one by Cobra. http://www.autogeek.net/cobra-deluxe...ber-towel.html or this one (yes it's better) http://www.autogeek.net/ww1627.html

Don't waste money on LCD screen cleaning kits that give you 1oz of Windex which costs 11 cents and a $3.00 cloth for $30.00 or more.
Some cleaners contain Amonia, Do Not use any cleaners that contain amonia on plastic screens or tinted windows. If you purchase a cleaner for Automotive tinted windows you will be safe. I would not reccommend Windex since most of them do contain ammonia.

Windex contains Ammonia-D which is not the same as strait ammonia (from what I understand, it's a mild variant and it's perfectly safe on plastics and there's very little of it in the total solution). It's true strait Ammonia and Ammonia based products are bad for tinted windows, but not necessarily true for plastics i.e. Plexiglass. The alternative is Alcohol, which can be just as bad, if not worse on some plastics. Windex is perfectly safe and is excellent at removing oils and leaving streak-free. much better then alcohol based cleaners.

Could be but I don't like to take chances and I prefer to do what the manufactures reccommend. I am using the same bottle of tint window cleaner I purchased at least 5 years ago and it was very inexpensive.
If you do a google search of window tint cleaning, or lcd cleaning, it will explain it

Thanks Christian and Wayne.......I do have some no-ammonia window cleaner for tints, Wayne....
If the Monster Cleaner lasts so long, I think I'll feel better using it.
I'd hate like heck for any other cleaner to damage the fragile screen for some reason.

Tnx guys.......I love this HDTV and of course my Navi (I usually dry wipe it to get the dust off (no prints)-- still I'm a bad boy for not cleaning it properly....
