Much like anything in your home, TV screens get dirty with fingerprints and dust and require a periodic cleaning. Keeping your TV screen clean is essential for ensuring a clear picture. However, cleaning the front of your TV is not something that should be left for the cleaning lady. The use of certain cleaning products and solvents can damage the front of your TV screen. Special care must be taken in order to make sure that your TV screen is cleaned properly.
Every kind of TV has different steps for proper cleaning. If you are unsure what kind of TV you own, consult your TV user's manual to ensure that you are using the right cleaning method.

To clearify the last question, it's a flat screen tv...if that makes a differance.
What type or brand is it and a model # if you have it?

Matt, if I may add something to this. I have in the past, on tube type sets, found intermittent ,damaged and corroded front mini switch in the front of the TV behind the on and off switch, the volume up and down switch, as well as the channel up and down .switches. What we found what causes this is when the consumer sprays a cleaner directly onto the surface of a tube type TV set. The liquid leaks down the front of the set and sits on the printed circuit boards and switches. Over time this causes the board and the switches to corrode. The normal complaint would be the buttons are hard to use as you have to push real hard on them, or the set turns off and on all by itself, or the buttons don't work at all but the remote does. The only way to prevent this from happening would be that if your going to use a cleaner, spray it onto the cloth and never over do it as you don't need too much. Gently wipe off the screen and use a dry cloth to finish it off. On rear projection sets, some .have two piece lenses that makes up the screen assembly. One piece is what's called a Lenticular lens, and the other piece is called a Fresnel lens. If you spray the cleaner or water directly onto the screen, it sometimes seeps in between the lens and you get an ugly spot on the screen. This sometimes can also happen when a person or little one spills something or splashes the front of the TV with a liquid The only way to fix this is to take out the screen assembly, cut the tape holding together the two lenses and separate them and clean them. Now on these projection sets we do not want to clean both surfaces the same way. The inside of both screen pieces, the two sides that go together, will be plain and smooth, and they can be cleaned gently with a normal shammy cloth and make sure you get all the dust off of them. The other side of the inside lens facing the inside of the TV will have a circular pattern on it. This is the Fresnel lens, just like they use in a light house's to amplify light and also because it has a short focal length. This lens should only be cleaned, if needed, without any cleaner and only a damp shammy cloth in a circular motion only. Then take a dry shammy and repeat the process. The outside surface has a vertical pattern of lines with a faint hint of black on the sides of these vertical lines. This is like a light blocker from the outside of the set so very little light can get inside the set and affect the reflected picture. This is the Linticular lens. This lens also amplifies a light source at different angles. The lens should only be clean lightly again with only a damp shammy and only in an up and down motion. Then you lay the rear part down, put the other screen or lens on tope and re-tape the ends with a cloth base tape. Wipe off the Fresnel lens again and reinstall the screen assy. If a consumer can do this when the set starts to look dull, they can save, a lot of times, a service call and labor to clean the screen. Now some projection sets has a lens or screen assy made all together in one piece. You would clean the inside and outside the same way. Hope this helps.

Michael, You really should invest in a service manual to see the exact disassembly process, as you do not want to just start taking out screws. Find out in the manual how the screen comes out, and clean the mirrors and the lens the same way you would the screen, with a soft clean shammy cloth. Never spray anything onto the mirrors or lens,as most projection TV mirrors have the silver coating on the outside of the glass and not on the reverse surface to prevent reflections. Good Luck and let us know how you made out.

Larry, I used toothpaste to polish out a scratch in my son-in-law's Sony KP5140something. It left a large patch where I rubbed out the anti-reflective coating which you can see. especially when the TV is off. This is a plastic screen cover. So what do I do? Rub it all off, or is there a product to restore the coating?
No sorry, you will have to replace the screen.
