My wife cleaned my samsung dlp and got some "wicking" effect on the bottom of the screen. I got a smudge on the bottom right. Obviously she overdid it with the cleener and got some moisture between the two part screen. Is there an easy way to fix this? I searched the forum but could not find the right thread. I'm sure this is a common problem, could somebody give me a solution, or point me to the right thread?

Never use Windex on a TV screen.

It's not a common problem as most people know not to use any liquid on these screens. Just a micro fiber cloth, SLIGHTLY damp if absolutely necessary, only.

A person at another site I go to had a cleaning person use some sort of cleaning liquid on her samsung dlp screen and she had to get a service person to take the screen out, seperate the two screens and dry it out, and then put it back together. It did fix the problem. Maybe you could wait and see if it dries by itself, otherwise, you'll need to get inside.
