Has anyone cleaned the screen of a Samsung LN40d630? If so, what did you use?

Definitely not glossy. The picture is fantastic and adjusts to varying light in the room.

The screen is not matte. My old Samsung was matte, but this one shows the glare of a light behind me in the screen.

The border around the screen is shiny. The back is matte. It is a nice little TV with a good picture (at the correct angle) and good local reception using rabbit ears. So far it has been a good purchase for our intended use.

The screen is semi-matte. It is glossier than the old matte screens but nothing like the mirror gloss of many other models and brands. This was a concern of mine and with this set it is not an issue.

The tv has a high gloss to it. So you will get reflection. Even on a matte screen, but glossy is worse. Now, if you block out some of that light - it's worth it. The TV will truly shine at night. The contrast and color saturation is awesome.

Hard to answer......the edges are glossy - the screen when off is matte finish. When turned on, the picture is clear and crisp. We love it and have no complaints.

I think it's more between matte and semi gloss. I can get some reflections on the screen with the TV off, but I don't notice them with the TV on. I have my set wall mounted in a bedroom.

The screen is matte. This is not a plasma, so you don't get the glare/reflections on this TV that you would a plasma. I purchased two of these to be used as computer monitors and have been very happy with them.

The screen is glossy. I definitely get reflections, during dark scenes, if there is any other source of light in the room. Fortunately, I have blackout curtains. If you always view it from the same spot, you could careful position the TV so there is nothing bright or shiny that will be reflected on the screen at that angle. If you do that, then maybe you can have some light in the room without getting reflections.

It is matte. The review on CNET says that the t.v. does a good job in bright rooms.

It is not a matte, but not real glossy either. I have windows on two sides of the room facing the sun, and this TV has the least glare of any TV I have had in the last 36 years. I love it.

The screen is matte and not glossy at all. I have bright lights directly above my screen and sit about 2 feet away from it, and there's no glare on the screen. The frame is glossy, though; the only place I notice it is at the bottom, where it's a little more than 1" wide. The frame on the top and sides is very thin and the gloss isn't noticable there. Hope this helps!

It's glossy but I don't think any more so than other TVs. It's in a bedroom though so it's usually on at night only but I've never noticed or been distracted by a glare.
