Whatever cleaner you use, use it SPARINGLY, do NOT let any run behind the bezel! Use only a soft cloth, NEVER use paper products to clean LCD screens, they'll scratch the plastic front plate. | | Distinguished Member with 28,003 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Wisconsin Experience: Far from beginner or expe | | Agree with above comments but note that one of the features of klearscreen is that it sprays on an absolutely ultra-fine mist that doesn't form droplets so there is no running liquid. I have used it for several years now on TV, Laptop and LCD screens. I purchase it at a local computer store and a little goes a very long way. | | Senior Member with 940 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2004 Experience: Intermediate | | I only use soft cloth with mineral water! | | Senior Member with 1,438 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: South Central Kansas Experience: A+/Net+/Sec+ MCSA MCTS | | Slightly dampen the corner of a lint-free cloth (you can get about a billion cloths from Wal-Mart for next to nothing). Use the damp corner to scrub the screen; use the dry part to wipe it off.
Nothing additional to buy (except the lint-free cloths). Lasts forever. Guarenteed to work on all screens including flat-panel, CRTs, plasma, and eyeglasses.

On newer laptop LCD screens with the sharp-looking glossy finish, isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) can burn off the gloss and make your screen look bland. | | Moderator with 96,701 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: South Eastern PA, USA Experience: Advanced age & experience | | Quote:

You don't use pure alcohol, you use a 25% or so mix with mostly water. | | Junior Member with 8 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2008 Experience: Beginner |

#11 | I sure wouldn't use those on my screen!  There are oils in the compound they use that's bound to stick to the screen and cause streaking at the very least. | | Member with 49 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Kent, UK Experience: Home User |
