I recently bought a Samsung 32 inch widescreen TV and on the glass there is a residue of some kind that I can't get rid of. It has feint horizontal lines too as if some protective film was attached. I can wipe it all off with glass cleaner but it immediately comes back as though I never cleaned it. Does anyone know what will get it spotless?

I hope you are referring to a crt and not an lcd tv!!?? Don't use anything but special cleaning wipes or spray for lcd or you will damage the plastic. If it's glass, use an anti-static foam cleaner from Maplins or similar.

IPA (Isoproply Alcohol) AKA tape head cleaner, on Methylated Spirits from a local paint or hardware store.
Also concider a trip to Halfords and get some automotive glass cleaner / fluid.

Vinegar and water should do the trick. Its far better than window or glass cleaner. Just make sure you mix something like 1:1. Put it in a spray bottle or just in a glass for one time use. Hope it helps.

REad the instruction manual that will tell you the correct cleaning method to use.Be careful what u use cos it could invalidate the warranty ...If u can't get rid of it maybe it's a manufacturing fault..Chk with the retailer or manufacturer.
Good luck

A drop of meths on a microfibre cloth does the trick. Great for mirrors too.
