Safely Cleaning LCD Displays?

Posted by Cliff on Monday September 9, 2002 @06:45PM from the but-spring-cleaning-was-months-ago dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I own several laptops and one flat-panel LCD display, and I am trying to find a good way to keep them clean without damaging them. Using the alcohol-based cleaning wipes that I normally use for my CRT displays doesn't seem right, and I had an (idiot) friend who shorted out a great many of the transistors on his laptop's LCD by spraying Windex on it. What's the best way to clean these things without damaging them or creating buildup that I'll just have to clean off again separately?"

It's sad to see such a well written post destroyed by one bad link.

Excellent post, but I won't be surprised when you're modded down to -1.

You'll never stop that. What you can do, however, is to get people touching with their fingernails (palm facing away from the screen) instead of their grubby, greasy fingertips.
