Cleaning the TV screen

What's the best product to use to remove the finger prints of a 3 year old on the TV. She seems to think it's touchscreen like a mobile at times.
TV is LED btw.

I use something called ecomist from amazon. Does the job and removes all marks pretty easily. Likewise leaves no streaks or watermarks compared to if I use water. Lasts ages and use it on tv, tablet, mobile phone etc.

Slightly damp microfiber, no reason to use anything else.

This is the best method.

it's been discussed before (like not using IPA), but microfibre doesn't remove grease, deposited by fingers, or dust/skin,
rather, initially, a light-weight detergent egBaby shampoo, applied with a lint free warm cotton cloth/microfibre, wiped off with same rinsed cloth.

Microfibre/(good quality)tissues to dry/polish any smearing that remains.

Ecomoist best cleaner I have had for cleaning phone screens, monitors etc. Comes with a good quality microfibre cloth.

Another vote for Ecomoist here.

I've used super market window cleaner on our plasma for years without issue, cleans brilliantly and leaves no smears.

Don't the old plasma's have glass screens though ?

I would never use window cleaner personally.

Are alcohol swabs damaging to screen? Such as those you remove TIM from CPU?

Don't use window cleaner or alcohol swabs, too harsh chemical.

A clean microfibre cloth with a little distilled water is fine
