To clean a Vizio widescreen TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the TV and unplug it from the power source.
2. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid using paper towels or rough materials that can scratch the screen.
3. For stubborn stains or smudges, dampen the cloth with a small amount of water or a screen-cleaning solution. Do not spray directly onto the screen.
4. Clean the edges and back of the TV using a dry cloth or a gentle cleaning solution.
5. Allow the TV to dry completely before plugging it back in and turning it on.
Remember to always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific cleaning recommendations for your Vizio TV model.
Your TV is one of your most prized possessions and it is important to take good care of it. Cleaning it improperly can lead to scratches and damage the picture quality. A soft cloth can be used for simple dusting while TV screen cleaners are better for more stubborn smudges.
Vizio’s Cleaning Recommendation
Although different TV brands have different features, cleaning the screen is similar. Vizio recommends using any electronic cleaner specifically made for LCD screens.
What Not to Do
Never spray cleaning products directly on the TV screen as it can damage the screen and electrical components. Avoid using paper towels, newspapers, or other paper products as they can leave scratches and lint. Window cleaner should never be used on a Vizio widescreen TV as it is only appropriate for older cathode ray tube TVs.
Cleaning Your Vizio TV
When cleaning your TV screen, use a clean microfiber cloth or an electrostatic duster. If smudges remain, dampen the cloth with plain distilled water or a solution of water and a small amount of dish soap. TV screen cleaners that are safe for LCD TVs can also be used. After cleaning, dry the screen with a clean microfiber cloth. If visible dust particles remain, a can of compressed air can be used. The TV remote should also be disinfected by removing the batteries and spraying with a bleach solution. Let it air-dry.
