Monitor Cleaner

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I have a 700m that came with a sample of KlearScreen cleaner and microfiber
cloth. Says it's made especially for Dell????

What do you use to clean your monitor screen with?

Clean fresh water and a clean, soft 100% cotton cloth (old towel, t-shirt,
etc.).

If there's any gritty dust, I blow or gently brush that off, so it doesn't
get ground into the monitor when I clean it.

I've never gotten anything on a monitor that needed anything fancier to
remove. If you do need something extra, stick to cleaning fluids and wipes
that are specifically designed for your type of monitor: the monitor
documentation may have suggestions.

Avoid window cleaners, which sometimes have ammonia or other chemicals that
can degrade you display; same for other household cleaners that aren't
specifically designed for monitors.

Or just do a Google search for the last half-dozen threads on this topic.
(How long before somebody suggests sandblasting, coarse scouring powder,
etc.?)

You're scratching your monitors with paper towels.

The same as if I was cleaning my glasses, lenscleaner and a cloth. Paper
towels would scratch the surface and you really don't want anything that
really runs so you have to be fairly quick with the cloth to wipe off any
runs on the screen.

You would never want to spray anything directly onto the monitor. Dampen
the cloth (soft cotton or microfiber). According to Dell and several other
computer monitor manufacturers, rubbing alcohol is safe for their LCDs. I
use a 50/50 mixture diluted with water. But other manufactures say to NOT
use rubbing alcohol.

Taken from the Dell website:
There are many cleaning solutions sold specifically as LCD cleaners. You
can use these to clean LCD screens on Dell notebooks. Alternately, you may
use a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and water mixture. Microfiber cloths
such as those used to clean eyeglasses are excellent for use with LCDs.

Ok, paper towels don't scratch glass. My LCD I would beleive you if I
had ever seen any scratches, in fact, I think for me to damage my LCD
with paper towels would mean I had one shitty ass LCD.

Paper towel paranoia is you ask me!
