How to clean LCD monitors
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitors are different from the normal CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors in the fact that the picture area is plastic as opposed to glass, we all know how much more durable glass is than plastic and that the CRT display can be cleaned by most household cleaners, provided there is no coating on the glass sometimes used to reduce glare there will be no problems.
Using a household cleaner on an LCD monitor can cause severe scratching and even cloud the display, the only remedy for this is to replace the whole monitor.
There are special chemicals cleaners to clean LCD monitors but these can be expensive and are totally unnecessary, the safest and cheapest way to clean an LCD monitor is with toilet tissue and water.
First get two pieces of toilet tissue wet one and wring out some of the water, it needs to be wet but not running to avoid water entering the display as it runs down the screen.
Apply a light pressure and quickly rub the damp paper over the whole area of the display.
Quickly before it dries use the dry piece of paper repeat and remove all the damp from the display, a very fast but light pressure movement works best.
You will have a nicely clean screen all over.
If there are persistent greasy stains such as finger prints you can add a small amount of household soap to the damp paper and repeat the above process.
In the event of a very stubborn mark or pen mark do not apply more pressure to the area, instead repeat the cleaning method above more regularly, there is a chance that pen can not be removed.
It is best to not touch LCD displays but the above process will safely remove any residue should visibility be impaired.
