Permanent marker, like ink, dries quickly on glass and plastic surfaces, including computer screens and LCD televisions. When cleaning a LCD TV, it is important to use light pressure and a cleaning solution that does not destroy the television's LCD surface. It is possible to remove permanent marker spots from a LCD TV using full-strength isopropyl alcohol. The alcohol is also known as rubbing alcohol and is available at drug stores as well as hardware stores.
Step 1
Turn off your LCD television, if it is on. Wipe the LCD screen with a microfiber cloth to remove any loose dust and dirt from the screen. Wear latex gloves to keep your fingerprints off the screen.
