Help - cleaning a monitor
 
How does one clean an LCD monitor. One site said to use a damp cloth
(water) but no cleaners. I tried that, but ended up with streaks on the
monitor.

Any ideas?

Note: I may one day put this monitor on my boat. (Whew!)

90-whatever percent isopropyl alcohol. It's what's used to clean them when
they're manufactured.

According to the manual that came with my NEC Multisync, alcohol is
verbotin.

I am told that the monitor will absorb any chemicals you apply, and will
screw it up big time. According to all the web sites I could find they
agree alcohol is a NO-NO (also known as "verbotin")

According to some experts they recommend:
from About.com
Keep your LCD monitor clean with these steps:


Turn off the computer and display
Use water only to dampen a lint-free cloth. Do not spray liquid directly

on the screen Wipe the screen

You may also use a mild glass cleaner that contains no alcohol

or ammonia, available at most office supply stores. Apple has tested a
product called Klear Screen and found it does not cause harm to plastics.

http://lifehacker.com/software/lcd/h...tor-179659.php

This may have been common sense to many of you, but I'd been putting

off a much-needed clean for a while because I didn't want to destroy the
beautiful, mysterious screen. Since my instinct was to use some rubbing
alcohol or glass cleaner (boy was I off!) to get the job done,
I'm very glad I checked beforehand. Alcohol on your monitor can cause
damage
to the coating and dry out and crack the plastic. You can use mild,
non-alcoholic
detergents (and Apple does endorse one), but I'll probably stick with water
for now

My Samsung manual sez to use plain water on a lint free paper towel. I
use water and lens cleaning paper towels I bought at an optical store.

I believe if you read further you'll find that " infrequent" use of a 50-50%
solution of the iso-propyl alcohol and water is not a problem.

That's true. The real BIG no-no on plastics is ammonia. That's the main
cleaning ingredient of Windex (the blue one).

How does one clean an LCD monitor. One site said to use a damp
cloth
(water) but no cleaners. I tried that, but ended up with streaks on
the
monitor.

Any ideas?

Note: I may one day put this monitor on my boat. (Whew!)

90-whatever percent isopropyl alcohol. It's what's used to clean them
when
they're manufactured.

That's what everything says *not* to use!

Oh well. New recommendations, old recommendations. Worked for me.


Maybe you're thinking of a CRT instead of an LCD monitor?

No. LCD on my laptop.


Well, I'm glad nothing broke, but seriously, everything I've seen says
*not* to use alcohol. The micro-fiber lens cloth with a couple drops of
water worked very well.

I believe if you read further you'll find that " infrequent" use of a
50-50% solution of the iso-propyl alcohol and water is not a problem.
