While TVs with larger anti-static rags and cleaners with glass plywood are easy to clean, you need to be more cautious about unprotected modern screens.

The best way to clean up a small amount of dirt, grease, dust or other beer accumulated on your TV? Discard the solvent and use only Soft and dry microfiber cloth ($80 $26) Clean the display. Wipe with circular motion, just like when brushing your teeth or cleaning the counter.
If things are too clumsy to pick up the rag, please reach out to get some Distilled and deionized water ($17 per gallon)this will not leave any spots or have impurities that will damage the screen. Place on a cloth and wipe, then use a fresh dry rag.
In the worst case you can add Tiny quantity Dawn Dish Soap ($15 for 112 oz) In the water (read: add a drop Whole spray bottle [$8 for 2]) and use it. If you do this, you will need to wipe it with distilled water a second time before wiping it again with a dry rag to make sure there is no residue left. Remember: the screen is not waterproof at the edges, so be sure to match it gently with water if you use it.
It is usually easier to see how dirty the screen is when it is off, so I recommend turning it off or unplugging it while cleaning. Be careful not to work too hard when rubbing, as you may damage the screen.
