Damp very soft cloth.

[Fulmar]

My Plasma and LCD TV and both my LCD comp monitors recommend damp (water) soft cloths.

For my laptop I use a cleaning solution from memorex which I bought at circuit city before they went out.  Im assuming you could use it on a tv if it works on a LCD screen.  It cleans the screen beautifully.

Damp soft cloth although before I got smart () I cleaned my laptop screen with Windex for years and it's still fine.

50% water/50% white vinegar on a soft cloth.

Do not use windex and do not use papertowel.

I'm guessing the paper towels would scratch, but why is Windex bad?

[MrRiplEy[H]]

Use microfiber cloth and water. Windex can remove non-glare etc. coatings from the screens effectively ruining it.

Windex can remove non-glare etc. coatings

Additionally, Windex (and other cleaning solutions) often contain ammonia, which can cause some plastics used by some manufacturers to yellow and cloud.
