    Hey y'all

    My grandma's over, and I was showing her my new laptop, and she got fingerprints all over the screen. :mad: What's the best screen cleaner for my Sony VAIO notebook with the XBRITE technology screen?

    She wants to go buy some of the stuff RIGHT NOW because she's sorry she did it... I don't want this screen to be ruined!! HELP!

    I just use a lint free cloth with a little water on it. Just enough to be damp.

    Klear Screen (online). I guess you can find some other stuff in any store but most of people I know use this.

    just make sure NOT to use Windex, it'll ruin your LCD, a common but fatal mistake.

    You can just go to your local Wal-Mart, and in the electronics section with all the computer stuff, they do have screen wipes that are safe to use on laptops.

    I use maxell video screen cleaner. got it from buy.com for something like $6 it comes with a fluid and a micro fiber cloth and does a great job, I find a cloth on its own sometimes to be useless on tough prints, or sneeze marks :D.

    It says on the box that it's for TVs, cameras, CRTs and LCDs.
