Cleaning LED or Plasma screen
 

How do you guys clean your computer screen?

There are so many conflicting reports on exactly what liquid to use or not use like: isopropyl alcohol,vinegar,water ect.

ONCE I used a damp cloth with 50/50 alcohol and water but I was not feeling good about it and I think it smeared a little.

I hope some of you have a tried and true method.

thanks

Just stand further back when watching porn...

Swifters is said to work well.

I use: 1 part of whatever cleaning solution you want, be it alcohol, windex, whatevs, I use windex, and 5 or 6 parts distilled water, NOT tap water (prevents smearing/streaking).

I think the most important part of cleaning an LCD screen is NOT using paper towels or rough rags, which scratch up the screen. Don't use tissue paper, I think that stuff has lotion type stuff that smears up the screen.

Use that soft blue microfiber stuff or those camera lens cleaners or a really soft piece of cotton. Don't spray the cleaner directly on the screen either or you could get liquid where you don't want it. Spray it on the cloth.

I think the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen one of my friends do was use toothpaste to clean their screen. Needless to say, he was unsuccessful.

There! A nice lengthy post on screen cleaning. May it never be forgotten. :)

The instructions with my monitor said alcohol is ok but never use any ammonia.

Thanks Apollo and Bruce.

and toothpaste! I wonder how he though that was going to work. lol

I see distilled water alot and that is part of the equation I think I am missing.


Instructions? what instructions... I don't know no instructions.

well, I guess I should have saved my instructions. :blush:

Who makes your monitor, Sky, and what model? The instructions are likely on-line.

Did he floss the power plug?

oh good idea. Why didn't I think of that. I have found other users manuals online.

I have a very cheap Hannspree with a very beautiful clear screen which I like 100xs better than the very expensive flat screen I bought years ago for the xp which only looked good from across the room. * rant * I was so glad when it burnt out.

Just use a really soft cloth and some cheap LCD cleaner at the store.

50/50 IPA (1,1 Histology grade) and Distilled/RO water, and a microfiber cloth as the wipe.

Thanks both of you

Mine says no window cleaners, and even named Windex as a no-no. Also, I lol'ed on myself when I read Zen's first answer...
