How to clean the screen of your LCD TV
On a balmy Sunday morning, when the entire family is enjoying a delicious sleep in, you sneak a burger and settle for some private TV time. Switching on the sleek LCD TV, you make it a point to draw the curtains apart to let the early morning sun do its trick to the room. But the light does more good that bad. In the dull morning light, stands your LCD screen, as ugly as ever. On closer inspection, you learn that the darn thing is so full of dust, chocolate-covered finger prints, greasy finger prints and what not!
This dear readers is what you have to pay for a full HD experience. Not that it’s dreadful, but still – a messy LCD screen can be more annoying than you can imagine. But before you reach for the rough kitchen cloth, let us warn you: a wrong move and you could send the screen straight to the trash. Here are a few helpful tips that you can follow to clean your LCD screen:
Things you will need:
A soft cloth – it can even be an old cotton T-shirt or a handkerchief. You can also use a microfibre cloth. Tissues, paper towels and other rough cleaning cloths are a strict no no.
Cleaning solution – There are special solutions available specifically for such purposes. But you can also use a homemade cleaning solution made of equal volumes of rubbing alcohol and distilled water.
-
Firstly, switch off the TV before you go about cleaning the screen. This will help you identify the dirty areas clearly.
-
Gently brush off dust particles using a dry cloth.
-
To treat smudges and greasy areas, first spray some cleaning solution on to the cloth and rub the screen gently horizontally and vertically till its spic and span.
-

-
Do not spray the cleaning solution directly over the screen.
-
Make sure that the screen is completely dry before you switch it on again.
