A good buy if you're looking for something for gadget screen cleaning. Philips screen cleaner can be found at Argos in two varieties (a small one, also the same price here http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4485432.htm) and this larger one at 200ml.

Suitable for TV screens but also any LED / LCD screens, so phones, tablet, laptop etc. Comes with a microfibre cloth. Managed to find stock in all stores near me so I picked one up. Can be found on Amazon for nearly £15. Was previously on here at £3.99, so it's now even better! :)

week solution of washing up liquid in a bowl with microfiber cloth. Then damp water only micro cloth. I switched to this method 3 yrs ago... great!

He was nearly right, just missed out part 2, if it goes foggy like you say just take off a thin layer with an angle grinder, then it's like new again :wink:

Got some similar Philips cleaner a couple of years ago, still going strong and great for all screens in the house from TV's to phones. P.s who in their right mind would **** about with "a week solution of washing up liquid in a bowl with microfiber cloth. Then damp water only micro cloth" Talk about messing about for the sake of a couple of quid :smirk:

What a load of rubbish, Microfiber cloth lightly damped with water does the job perfectly!

Water and elbow grease is all you need.

Washing liquid can mess up some screens, and especially damage some types of touch screen.

Ive just tried my wife's nail polish remover on my 4k sony TV that I have had 3 days. The picture doesn't look quite right. Wonder if I can return it?
Bought it from AO....

What's the difference between this and the one that the Pound Shops sell? I've used the one from the Pound Shops and it's perfectly adequate plus it's cheaper.

No it's only for Polaroids, you shouldn't have bought Sony in the first place to get stubborn stain in 3 days. :stuck_out_tongue:

I drank some and thought it was made by Jesus. My special Jesus wee I called it. Is a secret though, so you never heard that.

Just water and a quality microfibre cloth will do the best job. I'm not talking about those big weave cheap cloths from wilkos ether really. A tight knit one such as the Unger green microwipe which are honestly the greatest thing you'll ever buy to clean glasses, phone screens, tablets screens, monitor screens etc.

Mist water, rub gently with that, it just takes all the grease off and presto, smear free shiny surfaces. Yes, those cloths are like £3 a pop. For good reason. You won't regret it.

Thanks OP. My last lot has just run out and my local argos is a stones throw from my house. Good deal :smiley:

I haven't tried this one. But have tried hama brand from amazon. It's great. Spray on wife off. And the remaining required evaporates off making the screen look brand new. Use them on laptop and tv screens.

I WAS ACTUALLY ADVISED THIS BY THE LOCAL TV SHOP WHERE I BOUGHT MY PANASONIC SETS. THEY JUST SAID TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE HOLDS TOWEL ACROSS BOTTOM OF SCREEN AS IF GOES DOWN THERE AS WOULD BREAK TV . THEY ALSO SELL EXPENSIVE SCREEN WASH, BUT SAID THAT THIS WAS BETTER. SO MAYBE NOT AS DAFT AS IT SOUNDS TO SOME. THIS WAS ADVICE FROM PANASONIC RETAILER

Doesn't nail polish contain a small amount of acetone? Great cleaner but very worrying on wrong product.

What's next? Gaming gear dust offs? Pardon my simple mind, but why LED and LCD screens need specialist water to clean them?

Can't you just use regular glass cleaner, meth etc?

Thanks OP, a bit of advice for those buying, make sure you select the green large bottle, as Argos also do a blue small bottle, for the same price also by Philips, as my local Argos has the small ipad set up for searching for products.

They often have fragile coatings on and sometimes just a cloth won't shift the stains/marks. This stuff is made to be gentle on the screen's coating but still help clean it.

Regular solvents eat through the plastic coating on the screen and damage it

I have been using half distilled water and half Isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle for screen cleaning for decades. Do people really need a video to show them how to do it?

ahhh bless, don't be bitter with life. keep taking your meds x

JamesSmith

You can mix isopropyl alcohol at a low concentration say 2% to 98% distilled water..

TBH though even though I have those ingredients, this is more convenient so I'll buy some. It IS useful when water + microfibre don't suffice. Usually water is all you need, but if you've gozzed on your screen, not really..

JamesSmith

16 May 16 #43

Just picked it up - now the layman cleaning their screens may be better off with wipes.. as you're throwing them away before the cloth catches any grease, but this does work really well once you get the technique and make sure you wipe AWAY and then use a polishing type motion. The cloth could be finer tbh but it does work. I use a torch shining up, reflecting against the screen, to see what I'm doing.. Also contains an anti-static and a big bottle, so HOT.

Distilled water, 2-butoxyethanol, anti-static, anti-septic, essence.

Totally agree. I've used all the "usual" methods in the past (dilute washing-up liquid, cheap screen cleaners, water & kitchen towel etc) but this stuff really does seem to produce impressive results. Definitely worth a couple of quid.

alternatively just sit a bit further away from the screen when your entertaining yourself and you won't need to do as much cleaning
