Clean your flat screen in style

So you've just blown a month's salary on a plasma TV, and you're treating it like your first-born. Do you really want to pull out one of those janitorial-grade plastic bottles to keep it clean? Certainly not in front of company, we hope.

With that much money hanging on the wall, the least you can do is spend a few more bucks for a nicely designed cleaning solution like this one from AM Denmark, which comes in an "integrated spray container" made of acrylic and textile, according to Core77. For all its beautiful lines, however, the product's name--"Eazycare"--could have benefited from a bit more thought so that it wouldn't sound so much like an oven cleaner.

Never, EVER spray cleaner on your screen!

One of my company's specialties is failure mode analysis. The most common user-caused failure in LCD, plasma and CRT display technologies is corrosion resulting when cleaners were sprayed directly on the screen and ran, even in miniscule quantities, down past the bezel into the circuitry. Cleaners should ALWAYS be applied to the cleaning cloth (preferably microfiber) with the sprayer pointed AWAY from the set, NEVER sprayed directly on the screen surface.
