@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.

This is a weird "glowing review" for something so mundane, but as a video productions teacher, I've gotta tell you -- THIS VIDEO IS PERFECT. The information is purposeful, succinct, and helpful. 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.

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.

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.

@@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. Use only distilled - or filtered water - if any greasy film needs to be cut through - use a bit of diluted, sensitive-skin (hypoallergenic) soap that leaves no residue.

As someone who cleans a lot of optics, I would never use a dry microfiber cloth on a dusty screen. Depending on what's in the dust, wiping it dry can cause the same micro scratches over time as using the wrong cloth to begin with. Air first to get the bulk of the dust and then the damp cloth.

Turn off the tv, turn on a bright light pointed at the screen, now all those spots will stand out to your eyes and you can clean it more effectively.

I sometimes feel like an idiot searching for things like this, but I figured there had to be a better way to clean besides old fashioned glass cleaner and paper towels. Glad I looked it up and glad this video exists. I use microfiber on my cars, and that seemed like common sense for a OLED TV. The cleaning solution is brilliant. Simple distilled water. I guess I was thinking there would be a product. I want my TV to last a while. For the record though, there was a time when glass cleaner and paper towels were fine. I feel kind of old now.

I can relate. I miss the days when it was fine to use glass cleaner and paper towels. Today's TVs are much better of course, but they're a pain in the butt to keep clean. I can't seem to keep my screen streak free to save my life. Even when using a microfiber cloth, I still have streaks when viewed from certain angles. It's nothing like the perfectly clean and streak free screen I used to get with just windex and a paper towel back in the day.

After a few months I just use my glasses cloth to get rid of the dust. For a 65 inch, it takes a little while, but it's always worked for me. Glad to know I've been doing it right because I had no idea what I was doing.

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 found that distilled water (LG's suggestion) works for most ordinary dirt and smudges. The big discovery, clean it firstly in the usual way and I get areas and streaks that do not come off. In that case, use the lightly dampened cloth to wet the areas or even whole screen, let it dry a few minutes, then wipe off dry with a microfiber cloth. Some smudges take a little light buffing then they lift off. Don't wait too long to dry but only until a soft dry. Some practice and you should get it. A "60 watt" daylight led lamp shining across the the screen, not head on, helps the spot the areas before I get cozy and awww see it in the picture.
