Is this non-ammonia windsheild cleaner safe for my moniter?

[Redwingsguy]

I got some eagle 1 stuff for my car windows and I noticed they were non-ammonia, is that safe for my moniter?

NO! Do not use any commercial cleaners on your monitor, you will remove your anti-glare coating and there is no way to replace it.

a good cleaner is water, it will not cause any effect on your monitor.

In the past, I use a monitor cleaner that I can buy in local computer store, but I use water now since I can't see any difference between them and it's free

The stuff I use has these 3 ingrediants...

3M Glass Cleaner
Water
2-butoxyethanol
Isobutane


I have been using this on my flat screen PF 790 monitor..... I don't notice any of the glare being removed.... even if it did, no big dela, as I dont have much that could cause glare.

Anyone know if those chemicles have been known to hurt a monitor? Talking about the ones in 3M cleaner... Even if they are I don't really care, just more curious than anything.


Thanks.

I have been using non-amonia, commercial glass cleaner on my cheapo 17" Mag moniter for two years and it has not hurt it at all.I don't believe my moniter has an anti glare coating on it though.

The ingredients on the can say that it contains:
Diacetone Alcohol
2-Butoxyethanol
Deionized Water
Liquified Petroleum Gas
Dimethyl Ether

I am pretty sure you just need to stay away from glass cleaners with amonia in them.

To be on the safe side, I just use distilled water and wipe with lint-free cloth

Snatchface, is there really no way to replace the anti-glare. I recently opened up my flat 19" NEC and noticed the screen was covered with a tinted film that looked taped to the side of the tube. I didn't look that closely, but it appeared as if you could peel it off.
Could there be anti-glare sheets out there?

What about lens cleaners? You know, the stuff &quot;guaranteed&quot; not to remove any coatings from eyeglass lenses? Will that, too, also ruin the &quot;anti-glare coating&quot; on the monitor?

I've heard many people say that only ammonia-based cleaners will harm the coating, which they say is actually a film.

I've had good results with this stuff.

Normaly water is is good to clean the monitor with. But to get off greasy finger prints and the like a cleaner is good. BUT! Do NOT!! use any cleaner with Ammonia or Isopropl alcohol. And those cleaners with the harsh chemicals I wouldn't use with a screen with anti-glare coat.

The best and cheap thing to use that is PERFECTLY safe, is &quot;Glass Plus..glass and surface cleaner&quot;. You can also get this at any grocery, or drug store. Use this and and this alone.

It contains No ammonia or alcohol or phosphates. Here are the ingredients in total.

INGREDIENTS: Biodegradable cleaning agents (Surfacants), Fragrance, and Water.

This stuff is AWESOME! And perfectly safe. It's great on a keyboard and mouse too. I just spray a bit on a cloth or papertowel and wipe down the keyboard and mouse, including each key.
