i know you should use a micro fiber cloth or whatever theyre called (i have one) i was just wondering what liquid cleaner i should use. I heard that there are certain cleaners that permanently smudge or darken the screen so i want to be careful. i also heard there might be different cleaners depending on whether the tv is LED or LCD. thanks for any help you can give

Answer
The 'smudging' is because someone uses strong ammonia-based cleaner and it dissolves the anti-glare coating or hazes the plastic protector screen.

The little $10 Monster screen cleaning kits are probably your best bet.

You can make your own cleaner with grocery store alcohol and distilled water. You want a 50:50 ratio of the alcohol (so if your rubbing alcohol is 70% solution you use more water). Spritz the screen while it is cold and let it sit for a minute to work (because this is a weak solution), the gently wipe with the cloth. Do not rub at a spot but re-spray, wait, wipe.

The guys at Revision3 have a show on making your own screen cleaner if you want to see it.

How can I safely clean wax off of an LED tv screen?

Jonathan

Long story short I've managed to get candle wax on my LED screen. I'm wondering what the safest most effective way to clean this off is. I'm thinking something like rubbing alcohol would work, but I want second opinions because I have never done this before and dont know what can and cannot hurt the tv.

Answer
If you're concerned about using the wrong solvent, go to a big office supplier and buy screen wipes. They contain a detergent and a mild solvent which will not harm the plastic surface and the material the wipe is made of will not scratch the surface either.

Alternatively, baby wipes seem to clean anything off anything and they don't harm a baby's skin, so they're unlikely to do much to plastic.

How do I keep my Xbox 360 clean and damage free?

I have a brand new Xbox360. I want to take very good care of it and use it for many years as possible. What's the best way to keep it clean, dust free, and undamaged? I have my Xbox on open entertainment shelf next to ceiling to floor height balcony window, my balcony window door is always open as I don't have AC in my condo. Any suggestions?

Answer
I to am pretty intense with my Xbox 360's care. Ive done some looking around and searches for this stuff, number one thing is if you have any discs spinning in the drive, or the xbox is on with a disc in it, DO NOT move it, not even the slightest bit... This wrecks both the drive, and disc.

To avoid the RROD (red rings of the death - best you look this up to on google etc.) do not keep your Xbox turned on for any extensive periods of time. About 8-10 hours on at once is pretty long, and could over-heat your Xbox. Ensure no fabrics or materials are covering your Xbox, it has reasonable ventilation and usually standing it upright can avoid any heat problems. Nevertheless, its more dangerous and lying it horizontally will work just as well.

Your balcony windows being open should be fine, however, make sure no fine dust is building up at the rear on your console. Any wet, humid conditions can damage the circuiting over time also (happened with my PSP) so keep your Xbox as dry as possible.

Static from TV sets and other electronic devices attracts dust in quite heavy amounts. A very light solution of fabric softener and water can cancel out this effect for about a week or two, Thought it must be applied very lightly to any surfaces with a paper towel, and is not recommended for Plasma, LCD or LED screens...

Insure your Xbox is always on a flat surface, that isnt balancing on any unstable grounds (soft thick carpets, blankets etc.). Make sure all cables leading into it have enough room to lead out, then towards their input (so they are not on a tight angle from the Xbox output, damaging the head on the cable). Place all cables in an area where you can not trip over them. Try to keep a distance between your Xbox and your TV set, for heat and radiation reasons. Around 1 meter from the center of the screen is enough I think.

Don't place any sharp, serrated or blunt objects the Xbox case, such as coffee mugs, DVD players, scissors etc. Don't let animals crawl on them too (I know from personal experience...)

Those are a few things I know, and I know there are plenty others you can do ... But by the way, if your under 18, and you say this on your Xbox Live gamertag, Xbox Live will cancel your purchasing of many free online content. So I'd say lie about your age with that...

Happy gaming, glad your not a Sony fanboy :)

How do i clean my tv screen without damaging the picture?

Karen P

I have a basic TV that seems to collect a lot of dust. I've been using a clean lint cloth but it only seems to add streaks on screen.

Answer
If it's an older, glass screen (not an LED or Plasma), you can lightly spritz a soft cloth with Windex or any other non-streaking window cleaner and wipe it down. For LED and Plasma, I use computer monitor cleaning sheets from any office supply store.
