Best Answer

Airborne dust particles sometimes carry a positive or negative charge. They can even be neutral. T.V. sets have a very high voltage just behind the screen that attracts the electrons from the guns and helps make the picture. That voltage attracts dust. Run the back of your hand across the front of the screen just after you turn it off and see.

Why does dust always collect on television and computer screens?

This is mostly true on the older ones, since the screens held an electrostatic charge. So the electron charge attracts dust that has the opposite charge. If the newer stuff is getting dusty, it is a static charge too, but the device is not actively creating it. Plastic can be prone to building a charge on its own or with rubbing.
