You can easily and CHEAPLY make a solution to clean that TV.
1). Get a squirt bottle
2). Get a microfiber cloth
3). Get a bottle of 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol
4). Get a jug of distilled water. (do not use regular tap water...as it will leave spots behind).
Mix the Isopropyl alcohol and distilled water in the squirt bottle in a 50-50 ratio. Spray the solution on the cloth and clean the screen.
For just a couple of dollars, you got enough cleaner to last for quite a long time. It's much cheaper than buying the premade wipes that are essentially the same thing...but only a fraction of the amount.

Also, I've found on the microfiber cloth that I tend to like the ones that the eyeglass companies use for cleaning the lenses of your glasses.
And, sometimes if you walk in and say that you need the cloth for cleaning your glasses...they sometimes just give it to you for free. It's certainly worth a shot. Worst case scenario, you end up paying a couple of bucks.

That's a good idea, especially for glossy LCDs. I imagine this would work well on any TV in general.
I've used eyeglass cleaner on my phone's screen before and it worked a lot better than expected. I wonder if it's safe enough to use on a TV...

I use those Clorox cleaning wipes on my cell phone and it works great. Maybe it's okay for the TV?
