what importance does the screen have on the projection of a high definition t.v.?

I wiped the screen of my 57" high definition television with a lens cloth and alot of the protectant on the screen came off. Can this cause any damage to the function of my tv??

1. Not to the actual functionality of the TV and projector system, but if I undestand correctly, it seems like you used an abrasive substance to clean it and it ate away at the antireflective layer of the screen. So now sometimes youll probably see a glare on the TV, or the picture might look a little different. But as it goes for the inside of the TV its all good.
2. not necessarily. from my understanding, protectant is put on a screen to insure that other things don't stain it. i would be careful and make sure to use only a DRY cloth to wipe it at all now. remember that even a damp cloth can damage a screen with no protectant!
3. Not really....that's an anti-glare coating you wiped off..... You'll see it with the TV turned off....But that's not how you watch TV.... I've seen the anti-glare coating come off of other sets..So, stop using Windex and switch to Radio Shack's $20 Monster Screen Cleaner Kit. Save yourself the $400 you would need to replace that screen. Like I said it won't affect TV watching...
