1 - Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth 

Most LED TV screens can be cleaned effectively with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Many models come with an anti-glare coating that can be easily damaged by harsh materials.

2 - Avoid liquid cleaners

Unlike older CRT TVs, LED screens are sensitive to moisture. Avoid using any liquid cleaners, including water, as they can seep into the display and cause damage.

3 - Turn off the TV before cleaning

Always turn off and unplug your TV before cleaning. This allows the screen to cool down and prevents potential electrical issues.

5 - Clean the frame separately

Use a slightly dampened cloth to clean the TV's frame and stand. Be careful not to let any moisture come in contact with the screen or ports.

6 - Address stubborn spots carefully

For tougher smudges, lightly dampen a corner of your microfiber cloth with distilled water. Gently dab the spot, being extremely careful not to let any liquid run down the screen.

Many modern LED TVs feature high contrast ratios and wide color gamuts. Regular dusting helps maintain picture quality by preventing buildup that can affect these features.
