I have an Acer X193W LCD Monitor that needs cleaning. Is Windex suitable or will it damage the screen. Any tips?.

John

NO WINDEX. simply use a damp, mildly damp (water) soft cotton cloth, then another soft cottoen cloth to wipe off any excess moisture. shouldn't take much effort to clean, very little moisture needed.

What about the whiteout (tippex) LA?.

Thanks mate

Picked up a little bottle (100ml) of STONY (Tesco/Lotus?)... Maybe 120 Baht but it lasts ages as it only takes 1-2 sprays. With the power off I spray on the screen and with the cloth damp I wipe all over the notebook screen frame and surrounds.

Be careful of pressure cleaning the actual screen... Those crystals (Liquid Crystal Display) can be a bit fragile.

The LCD makers suggest that you either use the expensive cleaner or plain water. They say that plain water works just fine (which is what I use).

Be careful to use a soft cloth so as to avoid scratching the screen's surface.

Being a cheap Charlie and not wanting to incur the expense of the recommended proprietary products, I've been using a mild solution of "Dettol" on a soft cloth for a number of years and had no problems (so far).

Used my little'uns wet wipes before, seems ok.

Yeah, my small little monkey gets over excited when watching vids of Thomas the Tank Engine on my lap-top and pokes at the screen.
