Hello,

Whats best for cleaning finger prints and what not off of a LCD monitor screen? A dry soft cloth just doesn't do it.

ken545, trying to reach inside the monitor to grab'em by the neck or take over (take away) the mouse and keyboard doesn't work. I've tried it and all I got were finger prints on the screen also rofl.gif

a 50-50 mixture of water and isoproply alchohol should do the trick.
Dampen a cloth, clean the screen, and let it dry.

Just make sure that whatever you do, don't use windex or another cleaning agent such as that since they may dammage LCD's. Your best bet would be what wng_z3r0 suggested, or to go out and get a can of monitor cleaner that is safe for LCD's.

I too looked into that subject at one point & I wish I would haved saved the
web-pages, But I didnt !
So I will tell you what I read,ok?

#1.All those high priced LCD cleaning kit's are a rip off all they have in them are a
mixture of regular household
Alcohol & Water, sometimes there is some color put in to make it seem otherwise,
or it is placed into a colored bottle.
But as the person stated earlier in this thread a 50/50 mix is exactly corect!

I guess one might want to use some sort of filtered water if the tap water at
home is full of calcium & such, but thats it.


#2.The cloth is very important! I learned along while back that"Pima Cotton" is
great for this job!
Otherwise, keep in mind that it needs to be as soft a cotton as you can find.

Well that is it, I just wanted to pass along what I had learned.
(There is no need to go out & buy expensive kit just use 50/50 mix & soft cotton)

Please remember that I am not an expert & I am just passing along what I learned
from an online Laptop /Notebook do it yourself repair web-site.Ok?

Good luck

Noticed that those soft cloths that are used for cleaning eyeglasses works really well with just breathing on the screen. You could prolly find them at any drugstore

Thanks for this thread! laugh.gif My pretty, new, big monitor just got coffee splashed on it, and I was wondering in a panic what I could use to get what was missed and dried biggrin.gif off. headscratch.gif It's not bad, but I was afraid to put anything on it. Thank you all!
