    hihi all, ok so I got my m1530 a week or so ago and I'm very happy but one thing I've noticed with this glossy screeen is that it gets really dirty and some noticeable spots on the screen that wont go away with a standard lens cleaning soft fabric

    anyone have tips on how to clean the screen better or some good cleaning solutions to use/buy?

    there is no protective layer of plastic


    also tried to take a pic but too much reflection now, i'll take one tonight when its darker.

    its small and kind of hard to notice but for a neat freak like me it kinda is annoying, as would be to most ppl too I assume!

    Is it possible I was gaming too much last night and it got so hot that happened? same thing happened on my mac awhile ago and never figured out what it was or why they happened

    fixed:
    Don't use regular alcohol...rubbing alcohol/isopropyl alcohol for stains ok.

    For just regular cleaning, distilled water and a microfiber cloth will suffice.
