Noticed some some small circular clear liquid spots on the surface of my TV screen. Not entirely sure how they got there. I have a possible idea, but it's unlikely given their location. There's another that I sneezed and that happened, but I make sure to look away from it and the location of one of them doesn't make sense if that's the cause. I've got 10 months left to return it if it does go bad at which point I'll be without a private TV to game on (my old one's still around, but not working properly. I haven't attempted to remove them, because from previous experience with a different set there's no way that I'm aware of/have access to to clean a TV screen without making the area worse.

So, yeah, can a TV screen leak? If so, what's it leaking and how is it leaking?

EDIT: How would I even determine the cause

Hello... Depending on the environment (smokers?) I use plain water with some bleach cleaner... or just some mild detergent and water... even some times some rubbing alcohol... depends B /

Ya most modern Microfiber will be gentle to the Screen material...and take away the "spot" or clean the whole screen. B )



I believe it's an LCD

@Ironsounds I've never seen this either with any screen ever (scratch that, just noticed the exact same on the Macbook I'm typing, so maybe you're right?). Which kind of cloth do I need?
