anti-glare coating

[CJP]

By mistake I've used a cleaner on my monitor that has ethanol in it which is supposed to be bad for the anti-glare coating. I've applied it 5 or 6 times. I've stopped using it but how long does it take to seriously damage the anti-glare coating like this?

Hmmm, most cleaners use some form of alcohol (often isopropyl, I believe), and I didn't know ethanol was a problem. Certainly you have to watch out for ammonia-based cleaners (like Windex), as they can certainly damaged anti-glare coatings.

In any case, if you've stopped using it and it doesn't seem to have caused any problems so far, you should be fine.

i've used 95% acetone and 92% isoprobyl to take dried spots of guinness off monitors, and it didn't damage the anti glare coating. i wouldn't use anything but water as a day to day cleaner, but i wouldn't worry about the 5-6 times you've used an alcohol based cleaner.

Guinness on the monitor? Doesn't that qualify as Alchohol abuse?

Ive used 40 grit sandpaper on my anti-glare screen at least 700 times by now. Didn't notice any problems until I got down to the electron guns.

I was thinking that either a sandblaster, or perhaps the steel brush that I use to clean my bar-b-q grille would work pretty good. I mean really if you can't get the dust/smudges off with steel, what will remove it? Battery Acid perhaps? I'll try tonight and post my results keys....
