beakmyn Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 What do you use. I've just polished my matt screen with Auto Glem car polish. came out ok. looks like new - lol Not sure I'd go that far. Mine are glossy screens so I use a microfiber towel. If they get real bad I use a water/alcohol mix to cut the grime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshan Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Just distilled water in a spray bottle and a microfiber cloth. So is your matte screen glossy now? :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHB Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I use Windex and a soft towel. Haven't damaged anything that way, but I clean the screen as infrequently as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I buy the clothes used for cleaning eye glasses. Its a really soft small fiber rag that you can clean a screen without any cleaners and works great on my camera lens as well. Also, a small bristle brush to get the dust out of the edges, but no liquids whatsoever. I watched someone try to use a dust can of air at work once, and it stained the screen with a big spot that won't come off. Another person tried the windex route but instead with alchohol. He ended up killing a few pixels, and now that one monitor has pink lines down the center of the screen where he burnt them out from drips that got down into the ribbon. All in all, I'd say a soft cloth, and no liquids(or car polish) of any kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whedgit Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 the microfiber cloth that came with mac is pretty usefull....if thats not handy t-shirt's or something similar rarely ever use liquids...if i do, distilled water that i put on cloth first to prevent dripping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taiyed14 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 it's recommended to use only water and a soft cloth to clean laptop screens. The chemicals could destroy the screens coating or cause damage to the hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 geeze man, these people that killed their screens with alcohol and windex... what did they do soak the cloth in a bucket first and then let it drip all in the corners?! There are many small layers in an lcd screen, and a plastic cover to boot on the outside. I have always used watered down alcohol, soaked into either a really soft cloth or tissue, squeezed the excess out, and then just cleaned as needed. I have been doing this for years on my and my wife\'s LCD screens, a dell laptop, and my laptop, and have never once messed anything up. My laptop has a glossy screen, and is still whistley clean :P dunno if I would use car polish though.... oh and btw-- I watched someone try to use a dust can of air at work once (lol, sry digip, but that guy was stupid.. and your avat. was the first fail pic I saw :P probably froze the liquid in the screen, and when that happened the components of the liquid crystal probably separated, thus screwing the screen completely..)
