How to clean a TV screen the right way | Avoid damage to your 4K flat screen!

[@Caleb_Denison]

Did you know Windex was a no-go? Now you know. Thanks for watching everyone!

[@thegrandmaslayr]

To clean my TV's and my laptop, I actually use a small amount of Pledge Multisurface cleaner sprayed directly on a microfiber cloth. Incredibly effective and also not harmful to electronics!

[@rem9882]

This was a much needed video. Thank you

[@D3athW1ng]

[@thegrandmaslayr]

@Alex Sonne Negative, you might be thinking about regular Pledge cleaner. The multisurface cleaner is safe for all electronics with a sealed finish, this includes the anti-reflection coating. It is especially safe when you spray it on a microfiber cleaning cloth, instead of spraying it onto the screen itself. Look it up if you don't believe me.

That's why the only and most important thing is to not let your fingernail run across and scratch the screen. I've been using Windex for 35+ years and I've sold TV's for most of that time. The key is using a microfiber cloth and "polishing" it very slowly and light pressure. That's it.

The organization is clear and focused. There's just enough humor to keep viewers interested. The host is obviously knowledgeable, but with an air of humor and kindness, and a fabulous baritone voice. (I was getting a bit of Vince Vaughn vibe here and there...) BRAVO, DIGITAL TRENDS. This is one of the few "how-to" videos that I managed to watch start to finish. It seems like overly effusive praise, but TRUST ME -- most videos SUCK compared to this one. Great job, team.

Keep this in mind for your microfiber cloths; avoid using fabric softeners on them. So, no liquid softener in the washer. No dryer sheet in the dryer. These products can contribute to build of waxy materials on your microfiber and these residuals can result in streaking as you wipe. Wash separately and hang to dry.

[@szewai395]

I'm glad you mention turning off and unplugging the TV (or monitor) before cleaning. Samsung also recommends letting it cool down if it's been on for awhile.

[@Triumphator616]

Here's a pro tip for smudges. If you're wearing glasses, I'm sure you're using special cloth to wipe them. This cloth normally comes in the box with the glasses. If not, go to an ophthalmology store and ask if they're selling cleaning cloths for glasses. These won't ever require water yet they don't feel 100% dry. They don't leave any moisture though. It's the way they're made and the feeling in your hands while holding them is as if they have some moisture. The screen is made of similar material, so the smudges can easily be removed. I already tried on my Samsung Q60B 4k TV and the smudges from my fingers were removed after couple of circular moves.

One more good tip for people with OLEDs that have a pixel refresh setting. While it may seem tempting to clean your screen while waiting the the hour it takes for the process to finish, DO NOT do this until it is done. Putting pressure on the screen while the pixels are reflexing can make the pixels smudge. If you have done this though & are wondering if you should send your tv back or get a new one, fret not for there's still a good chance you can fix this by using pixel refresh again, but this time don't touch the screen & it should fix the issue. Source: myself & a miracle of a reddit post I came across.

[@williammunny1844]

I think these OLED screens are a lot more durable than we’ve been led to believe. Im a smoker, and I noticed my OLED screen had smoke residue on it. I tried wiping it off with a dry microfiber cloth, and that did NOTHING. I tried it with warm water next. Didn’t work either. So I cut up one of my mom’s old soft turtlenecks that I found after she passed (I use them for cleaning my glasses), sprayed like 4-5 sprays of 70% isopropyl alcohol on it (just enough to get it slightly damp), and it worked like a charm. Screen looks brand new again. It did require a lil bit of elbow grease, but the sheen or “finish” was unaffected. Just grab the back of the TV with one hand, and wipe side to side with medium pressure with your other hand. Hope this helps!

I would suggest NOT using 100% water as it could seep down between the screen and the surround at the bottom. A mixture of 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% distilled water is better as the alcohol helps the evaporation process. Spray it sparingly onto a microfibre cloth and not directly onto the screen.

[@billyz5088]

@@robinlikes2learn ~~ I would disagree on using any alcohol or ammonia - but I do agree on applying it only on the lint free cloth - then its easy to wring out the cloth to be sure its damp enough to clean - but not too damp to drip.

Always use the air compressor BEFORE using a microfiber. This will remove a bit and will help limit the chances of scratching. Highly recommend investing in an XPower X2 instead of the canned air. For stubborn caked on gunk, I find that distilled water mixed with distilled white vinegar (roughly 6:1 mix) works better than dish soap or isopropyl alcohol

[@osricen]

Yeah, I did terrible things when I was younger. I ruined a great LCD TV by spraying window cleaning stuff directly on the screen and cleaning after. The TV was left super clean, but, in time, it started failing because of the product getting inside the panel by the thin spaces around the screen. Also, be careful of not getting drops of water into these spaces. For instance, 3:19 makes me a little nervous. But yeah, microfiber towels are the way to go. Sometimes, even a clean, dry microfiber towel will be enough to get rid of stuff.

The tip on using only water was very useful for me. Just water, a microfiber cloth, a lot of "elbow grease" and time got my screen clean...and I mean CLEAN. That sucker is a solid black mirror now, until I turn it on anyway. So, THANKS!

Thanks Caleb, just purchased a P Series Quantum and I hope to keep it in pristine shape.

[@FroZoneDeNiro]

Windex electric wipes and a microfiber cleaning cloth works perfect for mine.

My house is opened concept...The big screen sits 18' from the stove...I cook everyday for the 7 ppl in our family. Our TV gets a thin film of slimy grease on it, even with the ventahood going full blast. This method worked well. Thank you

[@mikado1950]

Great advice, and very clearly presented. Thank you.

[@danielnovak4284]

You're right! I've been doing it wrong. Thanks so much for this informative video. God bless you! Tchau.

[@BaronVonSavage]

Worked great for me...I used boiled bottle water and a droplet of washing liquid in a fine spray bottle... finally got rid of the marks👍

[@itsneight1260]

I would add... only use NEW microfiber cloths. Used ones pick up all kinds of stuff in your dryer and the weirdest stuff sticks to them. Sometimes it wont come off even if you try.

[@ChescoYT]

facts!

[@johnfranklin5277]

I only wash my microfiber towels with other microfiber towels. Only put these in the dryer, nothing else. They come out great, nothing sticking on them . Look like new.

Left, right, up, down, use a linear motion. If you use a circular motion and you do have a small piece of grit in the cloth or on the screen, then you will cause a larger area of damage than if you use a linear motion. People who polish for a living know this and avoid circular motion if possible.

Tell that to Mr. Miyagi

Thank u I was looking for this comment

[@kpf2087]

Cool. Thanks for this. Now I know how to clean my TV the RIGHT way.

[@vassili87]

Thx, I pray God I didn't damage my tv already. But from now on I know what to use. Glad I still buy distilled water for my car glass after two years since I bought my wheel! xD

[@laswan5]

Distilled is best for drinking if you live in the city. Fluoridated water isn't good for you at all plus distilled water carrie's heavy metals (toxic) out of your body.

[@DavidKowalski]

I sold TVs back in the rear projection days and read that regularly cleaning them with ammonia-based window cleaner could slightly discolor the screen or screen protector over time -- causing a kind of yellowing. I do not know if this still applies to newer TVs but have suspected the principle has not changed.

[@HighTimes42071]

That's because ammonia is harsh stop using that nonsense tyr natural products they work better and safer

[@vashranoid]

Bah, seems my problem was not using a dry cloth afterwards! This video helped immensely, thanks!

[@marlonconchorizo]

I used to work briefly for Best Buy (great employee discount, lol) and i recall them using a specific ANTI-STATIC chemical or cloth, cant remember which. I wonder if they still exist and make a difference.

[@supersmurf64]

Seems that my 3yo grandson still isn't convinced that my 85" Samsung isn't a touchscreen. 😏

[@hunn20004]

My niece isn't convinced either...

[@zackroyster4674]

Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣

[@JohnQuilyQuinlan]

my nephew and his mam and dad are not convinced either, they just laugh as he slaps the shit out of mine.

[@jakepophal985]

How much you pay for that?

[@mssanbaby4474]

My granddaughter thinks the tv is a large coloring book😳🤣🥰!

[@michaelwright1602]

I use a microfibre cloth and water... One of those tightly woven micro fibre cloths, and squeeze as much water out of it as possible. Works like a champ. Nice to see I am not the only one. ;-)
