Roco Posted November 11, 2006 CID Share Posted November 11, 2006 I want get those annoying Fingerprints and want to know how to clean a lcd monitor. Hi Beathemdown , We haven't spoke b4 , anyway ,Welcome from me ,to the forum, I just faced that problem a month back with my first LCD monitor, I followed the manufactures advice, with the monitor turned off for a least one hour, I used a damp soft cloth, with mild detergent, (liquid soap ) well watered down , that got rid of the fingerprints but left streaks, so I used another soft cloth and sprayed a non-silicon glass cleaner onto the cloth, and used that, and finished with a gentle wipe over with another soft cloth , result back to as new , You can get special screen cleaners from puter stores , but I have never tried them , hope this helps , Roco UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sparticus013, you could be right (Eh ) but I once cleaned a CRT monitor that was on, with a WET cloth , the flash was unbelievable , and it was still OK after, but I have adopted the cautious approach ever since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cak46 Posted November 11, 2006 CID Share Posted November 11, 2006 I'd suggest if you use windex, spray it on the cloth, not the monitor, whatever type of monitor you have...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fikester Posted November 12, 2006 CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 I use a 50/50 mixture of water/alcohol on a soft cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roco Posted November 12, 2006 CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 opne ????, old English spelling of "one " yeah, if you believe that , I just hope Beathemdown has got his LCD screen clean, without a problem, if not Beathemdown please post the results ,as I fear we have wandered way off topic , try following the LCD manufactures advice, if that fails, please post back into this thread, if things work out OK let us know, either way, I would appreciate your comments Regards Roco UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roco Posted November 12, 2006 CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 I use a 50/50 mixture of water/alcohol on a soft cloth. Oh, fikester, that is the way we cleaned medical slides, using de-mineralized water , can you get commercial alcohol in the states over the counter ? not possible in the UK, in case we drink it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted November 12, 2006 CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 Oh, fikester, that is the way we cleaned medical slides, using de-mineralized water , can you get commercial alcohol in the states over the counter ? not possible in the UK, in case we drink it I suppose you could try bourbon, too..... One for me, one for the monitor, two for me..... :haha: I would think isopropyl or denatured would do the same. Wouldn't recommend it on an lcd monitor, though. I'd stick with a mild soap and water solution on a cotton cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fikester Posted November 12, 2006 CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 yes...use isopropyl alcohol/water, pure grain is not recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
