	Actually, this might work.  Since (I believe) most of the dust buildup
is due to static electricity, and most of these dryer sheets have an
anti-static agent in them, it just might keep them clean longer.

	I do have some concerns as to what the various other chemicals
(read "softeners") would do to any coating that might be present on the
screen surface.  It might smear or otherwise damage this coating, leaving
you with a streaked or blurry image.  Further, it may leave behind a coating
of some sort that would do the same thing.

	As I said, it might work, but I wouldn't try it until I learn more
about it (Hey, call me chicken, but my Sony 1304 is brand new.)
