How to clean your HDTV screen (Hint: do it right or void your warranty)

It's astonishing that a huge number of HDTV owners clean their flat panels with commercial cleaning products like Windex. Why is it astonishing? Because such products can do irreparable harm to your expensive investment. Worse yet, if something does go wrong, it's very likely the user manual that came with the HDTV tells you not to do what you just did do to cause the damage. And there goes your warranty.

You'll also see cleaning kits at big-box stores like Best Buy that charge you an arm and leg for a microfiber cloth (like the one's used to clean glasses) and a tiny bottle of cleaning solution. Don't fork out the cash here either. Okay, then how are you supposed to clean your LCD or plasma?

It's really simple and cheap. Go to an office supply store and buy a microfiber cloth, dampen it with water, and wipe down your display. Just don't press too hard. That's it.
