How do you clean your screen?

How do you erase those fingerprints in the glossy screen? I'm afraid to use alcohol, but water doesn't do it easily. How do you do it?

 

I turn the screen off / laptop off - give it a light windex spray and wipe with a soft cloth-

 

I use a microfiber screen-cleaning cloth. It costs about $5.

 

You get get bottles filled with this liquid (i don't know what it is), but they do a great job of cleaning the screen. I'm sure you can find them, the bottle I bought has "Screen Cleaner" prominently written over it. Also those microfibers jetstar talked about works great

 

Where would you find the Screen Cleaner and the microfiber cloth? Would a place like Wal-mart have them?

 

All the big electronics stores such as CircuitCity, Bestbuy, CompUSA, etc, stock computer/notebook cleaning supplies and kits.

I think that Walmart has them as well, but I am not too sure.

 

I use lens cleaners for glasses. They are widely available in supermarkets and opticians and are cheap.

 

What about matte (or non-glossy) screens?

 

I use a piece of kitchen towel dampened with water on my matte screen, works well.

 

I push my screen all the way back and wipe it down with a moist paper towel and then dry it with a dry paper towel.

 

Don't use anything rough such as paper towels on glossy screens, and don't use any window cleaners either - not good. I use a microfiber cloth and some water to clean both my matte and glossy screens.

 

I use amonia free Windex with a soft cloth and it works fine for crt, lcds, plasmas glossy, screens - never had a issue before -

 

I dip my screen in sinkful soapy water and it always comes out really shiny.

 

I use a good microfiber and some good LCD screen cleaner. I have found OptimistPrime to be the best. It and the microfibers I use are available at www.shaggymac.com. It might be a little pricey, but its worth it.

 

I use screen wipes from Aldi - cheapo stuff lol.
They do a great job though, and don't smear it or anything.
About £5 for 100 cloths or something.

 

N i dip it in Acid...

 

I just buy a new notebook when my screen gets dirty.

 

My screen is dirty, can you clean it for me? My address is...

 

micro fiber cloth.....or if it absolutely really needs it, a damp cloth followed by the micro fiber.

 

I also use some sort of sreen tissues wich have a little cleaning stuff in them, works great

 

I tried using this glasses cleaner stuff, and tried alcohol + water. In both cases, it left smears all over the screen.

So, I use this Windexish stuff that doesn't have any amonia. It doesn't leave smears, and seems to not damage the display.

 

This will destroy your notebook and you stand a very good chance of getting a nice lethal shock from the LCD inverter. Dont do this.

 

I use the side of my finger to collect the dust - for some reason my room attracts dust - to the top left corner and the blow it away. To get rid of fingerprint i use a microfiber cloth, but it gets dirty fairly quickly and i can't be bothered cleaning it, so my screen is fairly dirty most of the time. like me glasses.

 

Hard to avoid sometimes. I use Mr Clean wipes to remove grease, and often a wet damp microfibre towel to remove the streaks. Works like a charm.

 

Paper towels and tissues are made from wood, and will scratch your screen.

I used to use paper towels until I realized they suck for the job. Now I use eye glass cleaner and the silk handkerchief that came with it. Works great.

 

My screen never gets dirty, i even checked it under the microscope!!! Can somebody tell me why???

 

Easy, either you don't have one or you live in a bubble.

 

Dust? Hah, can't touch this screen.
