Swiffer dusters is all I ever use on my TVs now, especially my 42" DLP.
I think I may have used Pledge on my CRT screen in the past, but that is a 1992 model which I doubt had an anti-glare coating.

This is a very interesting topic and quite informative...
I've been holding out to buy a "HUGE" screen until I am really forced to... although I'm jealous of all you who switched to the "Big Dogs"...
First of all, Goose... I'm truly sorry to hear what happened because I am a perfectionist at that would drive me freakin' nuts...
Have you called any of the "big box stores" to ask them if there is a resolution to this screen problem? I have always used regular Windex on my tv screens for years (thinking that a glass cleaner would be okay for the glass tv screen) and have never had a problem with any of my old picture tube televisions.
Any video experts here that can provide a solution to Goose's problem and also some preventative advice on how to clean the screen of these video monsters?
By the way, Best Buy is now advertising a 73 inch plasma!!!
Holey crap that's HUGE!!!

All I use to clean our plasma TV is Monster Screen Clean. It comes with the cleaner and a MicroFiber cloth. Also use it on the PC monitor and all our cameras. We were told that any other cleaners, such as Windex, ammonia based cleaners etc. could scratch or streak the screen and strip away the protective coating. It was pricey ...but so was the TV. Sorry I couldn't be of any help Goose.

Sorry to hear about your tv. When I got my DLP I tossed any and all rags I use to use on my old tvs. I only use a microfiber cloth on it and never any cleaning stuff not made for DLP or LCD, plasma TVs. Even with my old tvs I use this stuff now.
Good luck if you keep it, but being a guy I say get the BIG hd tv now

The thing that burns me the most is I KNOW not to use any of that crap for a TV screen, even a CRT which has been coated....I used 2 gray rags to dust and clean...I picked up the wrong one and started to clean the screen and....Oh CHIT
This may take a week IF I'm lucky
