How to clear a smudge on my TV

Try this way to clean your TV screen:
1. Turn off and unplug your TV.
2. First try using a dry, anti-static cloth and rubbing gently.
3. Use water to lightly moisten a clean, soft, dry cloth, and then rub the screen gently. Do not let the water run down the screen or enter behind the screen frame.
4. Wipe with a dry cloth after cleaning.
Important: Rub as gently as possible. LED screens can be damaged if you press too hard.
WARNING: Never use any type of window cleaner, alcohol, soap, scouring powder, or any cleanser that contains solvents. Never use abrasive pads or paper towels. These can scratch the screen causing permanent damage.

It's not necessary. Your TV needs to be unplugged.
