    After searching through this forum on how to clean the X-Brite screen, I heard a lot of raves for Falcon dust-off wipes. So I bought them. They clean the screen, but leave hardcore streaks. Has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?

    Falcon's major selling point is that they're streak-free, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong (how do you use a wipe the wrong way? people will find a way, I guess), or what.

    I bought the version that looks like a pastic canister of baby wipes. maybe they're too soaked with the product, or something?

    the beautiful screen looks like absolute junk right now.

    Thanks!

    I purchased this LCD cleaning kit from the Sony Store. The kit is not from Sony. I think the product is like monster LCD clean etc.. It is very good. It comes with Lint free cloth safe on LCD and CD DVD surface. Also, cleaning liquid sticks on the surface that needs to be cleaned. Make sure that your solution does not drip as it can get into LCD pannel! I do not have a problem with streaks either.

    yeah, the problem was the extra cleaning fluid that was left on there. i tried using a sunglasses cloth and it just smudged the stuff around. i have a sony store near me and will check it out today. thanks!

    just bought this thing (Monster ScreenClean) and it's perfect. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for the help.
