Cleaning LCD?

Samus Aran · 02-17-2005, 06:37 PM

I just bought a new laptop, and was just wondering if there is anything special I need to know.do before cleaning the screen.

I just don't want to do anything that will leave a scratch or fuck it up in any way... so any help is appreciated.

You'd have to do something pretty amazing to hurt it.

I typically whip out the Windex / glasses cleaner and cotton.

I remember hearing somewhere that Windex is horrible for LCDs. Don't remember why, or where i heard that though.
They accually make cleaners specificly for LCDs, I just use that and a tissue to clean mine.

The amonia in Windex can cause problems with LCDs, at least acording to most manufacturers. You can pick up LCD cleaning spray/wipes at damn near any Wal-Mart/Staples/Best Buy type place and they cost about the same as Windex, so I usually recommend that stuff.

Use NuShield if you're worried about messing up anything. If you don't want to do that and are actually good about cleaning, they sell anti-static and lint free cleaning thingies for monitors. I have one but it is shaped like a little stuffed pig, it is a duster, I assume you could purchase a box of wipes (usually 100 per box) - those are less gay.

P.S. That Magic Eraser you see on TV removes crayon marks from anywhere. You should get one if you have a crayola-happy kid.

If you happened to score a wife with the kid, ask her for a make-up application wedge (or make-up dohickey, as most girls call them) and you can use that on your monitor.

Thanks for the tip Ravven. We tried everything to get rid of those marks. But well try the magic reaser.

I dont know??

Beat his ass? Take away his crayons for a while? Put him in a time out?

What do you do to a 3 yr old to punish him?

BTW, Hes since gave up on the crayon drawings all over the house.

Hes got other more elaborate and ingenious ways to fuck shit up now.

You're probably out of diapers by now but the wipes clean crayons and pencil lead off the walls really well. They also clean shoes up better than most other cleaners.
