If you look closely at the screen on your TV or computer monitor you’ll likely see that it’s covered with dust and (possibly) other types of ‘dirt’.

If so, giving it a proper cleaning could result in a more enjoyable viewing experience.

The thing is, you can’t just spray a modern flat-panel screen with Windex and wipe it off with a paper towel like you could back in the days of glass CRT screens.

Flat panel displays are coated with special chemicals that can easily be damaged or removed from the screen’s surface by Windex and other common glass cleaners.

Also, it’s very important to be gentle when cleaning a screen because they are quite sensitive to the touch.

With those precautions in mind, here is my recommended method of cleaning modern flat panel screens like the ones found in TVs and computer monitors:

1 – Turn off the TV/monitor and unplug its power cord.

2 – Gently blow the loose dust and loose ‘dirt’ off the screen with a can of compressed air to prevent it from scratching the screen while you’re rubbing it down in the next steps.

3 – Using a pre-moistened lens and screen cleaning wipe, gently rub the screen in circular motions to start the process of removing any ‘dirt’ that might be ‘stuck’ to the screen.

Do not scrub or press down hard on the screen’s surface as that could easily damage the screen.

And don’t keep rubbing in one spot. Instead, quickly, but gently give the entire screen a preliminary wiping.

4 – Inspect the screen from various angles to identify any areas that contain residual ‘dirt’ and use a fresh wipe to give those areas another round of circular wiping motions.

5 – Keep repeating step #4 until the entire screen appears to be clean and free of any type of ‘dirt’.
