HELP!! - My wife used jewelry cleaner on my Panny plasma

This might be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Wtf?

Try wiping it off with distilled water and a micro fiber cloth maybe its just residue left behind by the cleaner.

Grounds for divorce clearly

Agreed...hopefully it will have a "happy ending".

Who is "the guy"? A jewelry guy?

The guy was doing his wife, the suggestion of jewelry cleaner was simply to piss the husband off so he would divorce her and they could keep pounding each other guilt free.

Whoever he is, I think we know what the op would like to do to him!

lol, aren't we imaginative.

Here's what i would do. Before starting, first make sure the monitor has been off for several hours so that the screen is cold. DO NOT try to clean it while warm or even hot.

Get a couple of soft microfiber cloths, then put some distilled water in a bowl with a few drops of mild liquid soap and stir it in well. Soak one cloth in the solution then wring it out thoroughly, then very gently and with very little pressure clean the screen then quickly dry it with the 2nd cloth, then let it finish drying. If that doesn't get it, add more soap and do it again. Don't rub hard because you can damage the coating with too much pressure and literally rub it off in areas so be very careful.

Hopefully the jewelry cleaner hasn't attacked the delicate coating on the outside of the glass.

Talk about kicking a guy when he is down. Bad enough his plasma is possibly damaged then a post like the above. Real classy .

Like Randy's recommendation.

If that fails, would try spritzing a bit of Coated-Lens-Safe Lens Cleaner on a (clean....) microfiber cloth & see what that does.

Unless the Junk comes off VERY Easily, would imagine that doing an entire (50" - ?) screen will take some time.

...........................

Give your wife a hug and a kiss, remind her how much you love her -

And then start saving / shopping for a new TV!

Yes the only thing I would use is distilled water and a micro fiber cloth, then dry with a clean micro cloth, then repeat.

I have to ask is the wife a blonde.

Best of luck,

You can buy distilled water for like $4 for a 4 liters at Walmart (at least i did). If youre going to make your own, you can boil water but youre gonna need a clean way of collecting the condensation - follow this http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Distilled-Water

Hopefully the distilled water & microfiber cloth idea sorts it out as others have suggested.

I had the exact same symptoms after cleaning my Kuro's screen with tap water & a clean cloth, but once I tried a new microfiber cloth & distilled water I was able to get rid of the swirly rainbows.

Honestly in this situation i think regular tap water would be fine, and any soft cloth would be fine as well. If any damage to the coating has occurred, it was already caused by the jewelry cleaner. The owners manual has specific instructions for cleaning the screen - here's from a similar 8G monitor manual:

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.

• If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water to which
a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the
surface is dry.

Warm distilled water is the way to go along with a clean, microfiber cloth. An old, clean, cotton t-shirt would work too. You don't want to use boiling water in case the protective coating on the panel is damaged because it could come off. There's a report around here somewhere where a similar thing happened when someone's housekeeper used Windex. The OP finally sprayed Windex on the rest of this panel to remove the protective coating to get rid of the "rainbow" effect. Very sad.

Is it ok to use lens cleaner (for prescription eyeglasses). Bottle says okay to be used on AR lenses.

As a last resort maybe I wouldn't do it personally

Your question is very subjective. For all intent and purposes, the ST50 will provide a better picture, especially when it comes to black levels, shadow detail and color accuracy. However, you should take a look at one to judge for yourself.



Ian

You can probably use it safely for small areas that have smudges that won't come off with warm distilled water but I certainly wouldn't use it to clean the entire panel, but make sure you clean it again with warm distilled water and a clean microfiber.

Panasonic's are like Honda's, they just keep going and going........if taken care off. Glad it worked out for you.



Ian

Silly Sally-
I just have to ask about that distinguished historical gentleman in your name there...is it either Thaddeus Stephens or Douglas ? Thanks !

I'm glad to hear you were able to get your plasma cleaned ! I will be picking up some distilled water for cleaning all of our flat panel TVs.

Bill

You're out of line! Are you really this stupid?

Well it's a lot of hard work and time and trouble to clean a big 50" screen
that he may not be able to get back to it's original state.
He should take that jerk to small claims court IF his wife is 100% sure
that he was NOT joking when he suggested to use it.
In court he would probably claim it was a joke or something he read about online.
