I accidently tried to clean my plasma tv about an hour ago, and sprayed polish on to get rid of the dust. The colours have started to go funny and I don’t know what to do. Any ideas? Rainbow effect on the Glass perhaps?? Well, this is the ONLY time I’d recommend using Alcohol or Windex on a soft cloth…..you may have to strip the wax from the polish off...

I’ve seen them side by side, with the same input, and the Panasonic...

The "myth" is that the gas escapes from the plasma cells. The cells are all individual sealed units and you have nothing to worry about. Just be gentle because putting irregular weight distribution on the screen can...
