I have a Pioneer PDP-5070HD with kids fingerprints on the front screen. They won't come off using the dry cotton cleaning cloth that Pioneer provides and Pioneer says that cleaning solutions will hurt the surface. Anyone know what can be done?
How to Clean a Plasma TV Screen If you get fingerprints or dust on your screen, you'll want to clean it off. But given the expensive prices of plasma TVs, you need to be careful to treat it right.
Steps Review your owner's manual. It should give you the best instruction for your set. Use only a microfiber or 100% cotton cloth. Do not use wood-based products such as paper towels or toilet paper, they could scratch the screen. Do not use ammonia-based cleaners such as Windex, 409 or others. The could damage the anti-reflective coating on the glass. Try first wiping it dry with the cotton or microfiber cloth. If the problem persists, use a damp (water-only) cloth to clean it. Some manufacturers recommend using mild soap, but do not do this unless your manufacturer recommends it.
Warnings There are some products marketed as 'plasma TV screen cleaners' or as safe for plasma screens that are not. Just because they call it a plasma TV cleaner, don't believe everything you read.
