    Hi All ..

    I have been looking for a quality screen cleaning kit. To be honest I have tried an LCD cleaning kit, yet the clothes aren't as good as I would like them to be. Maybe someone out there in notebookreview land would like to share their experiences with LCD cleaning kits ...or have devised their own accessorized cleaning kits themselves ..??

    Thanks in advance

    I think a microfiber cloth with clean water is your best bet. If you need something a little more high potency, radtech has a good cleaning product, www.radtech.us

    interesting. I notice that the OmniCleanz (Radtech.us) does demonstrate how it remedies the problems I am having with a polymer solution....that is leaving behind a streaky residue.

    Maybe it's not the clothe @ all I am having issues with ...its the cleaning solution.

    The above link brings you to monsters website (Monster Cables) and a screen cleaning accessory they are offering through Future Shop.

    It's costly compared to, what I thought, would be prepared to pay. However, looking at recent investment (R4000 Compaq), I should spring for the better quality (more expensive) monster iClean product. My laptop will thank me @ the end of the day ..

    R4010 Compaq Presario ...Beautiful Notebook ..!!

    2 drops plain old tap water, $.00001. (any faucet)
    Clean Screen, Priceless. (And I'm a cigarette smoker!)

    Hi Qwester where did you buy this cleaner ?
    BTW I have been reading a lot of your and Brians posts regarding fujitsu n3510 and finally bought it last week :fujitsu:. Thanks for all the informative posts. I love the notebook , the only issue I have is that it gets little warm under the left palm. My HP zv500 64 AMD does not get this hot.

    I use a Nexxtech cleaning kit...it was $9 at "The Source", which is what bought Radio Shack, if I'm not mistaken...anyway, it's a spray with a microfibre cloth included, and it's been flawless, my screen is clean and crisp and good as new - no streaks or residue, and no static either.
