What to use to clean a big screen , screen.
I am cleaning house and am about to clean the screen on the bg screen I don't have a protecter over it so it is just the screen. I just want to make sure I on't mess the screen up in any way. What do I use? Thanks

I talked the the owner of the local Sony store, and this is what I got:
If your screen is dirty (smudging, fingerprints, etc) wash with ditstilled water with a caouple drops of ivory liquid soap. Rinse with distilled water, and dry.
If no smudges and you are just dusting, skip straight to the rinse and dry.
I went to Wal-Mart and bought a package of clean cloth diapers to use. I use one to wash, and a second to dry. I think it ws like $6 for 6 diapers.
I also turn the diaper frequently while washing, to expose a clean area of the cloth and not continue to rub dust against the screen.

I am not sure about the Ivory soap. I use a microfiber cloth (something like you would clean glasses with) and if I need moisture, I spray a bottle of water directly onto the cloth. This seems to get all smudges off. Do not spray on the screen as the runoff could get down inside of the cabinet.

Like I siad, I use a clean diaper and pure water. ( I also have a well with high mineral content, so I use the last of a bottle of water)

I do it the old fashioned way grab a single paper towel and some glass cleaner and spray the top portion only. I use the single towel to get every nook and cranny on the screen, I own a 2 year old RCA F38310 Direct Tube.
Off topic I use Ivory Snow liquid on 'new' DVD discs before playing them.
