How to remove white specks on outside of TV screen?

I have noticed these white spots that are on the outside of screen and I cannot seem to get them off. Most research I’ve found was related to pixel issues and these are most definitely not a pixel problem as they don’t affect picture at all. If I touch the screen I can feel the spots and they look sort of like salt crystals on the screen. This issue seems to also be on the bezel of the TV as well.

Hi,

Try using a clean lint free cloth moistened with Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available from electronics parts stores) to gently wipe away the spots.

Ensure that the TV is disconnected from the power and that the cloth is only moist and not dripping as even IPA conducts electricity when wet. At least it evaporates quickly and leaves no conductive residues. This is in case any liquid gets in between the bezel and the screen and somehow reaches a board or cable connector etc.
