LCD cleaning

Oki, had my new widescreen LCD monitor for a couple of weeks now, got a mark on it and wiped it off with some cloth I got with it, has now developed a slight smear on it I can't get rid of. Looking for something to do it, preferably something under a tenner, don't mind buying off Ebay if there are any links to some decent stuff that will do the job.

Cheers.

Re: LCD cleaning

Brillo will do it well.

Seriously, I've used a few things on my LCDs, and I use proper wipes, you can get them from any computer store/site. I also find that the cheaper wipes can create more smears than what you had before.

Re: LCD cleaning

I had the same thing as you - I brought a cloth from PC World designed to clean LCDs.

It took a bit of rubbing, but now its smear free again

Re: LCD cleaning

Hello folks!

I acquired a Sony 19" monitor & I clean it with a wide horse hairs brush, as in such way never I will push the screen protector, in any way...so not harm at all, also as such newer LCD monitors are "Statics free"...not as my older TV type screen that always was full of dust + hairs from my two dogs.

Peace,

Alex 007

Seems very extreme! I have a very expensive Phillips widescreen tft and that gets cleaned with a baby wipe. I do normally leave the wipe out a few minutes so some of the moisture evaporates but in 3 years it has proved a very successful and cheap method. I also use it on tv's and crt monitors.

Re: LCD cleaning

A sparingly damp microfibre cloth does the trick - cheap and no detergents.
