I use anti-reflective glass cleaner. You could brobably buy some at an optometrist's office, or Lenscrafters would carry it.

would "costco lense cleaner" give the same effect? It was purchased from the optometry department, it says it works on anti reflective surfices

i just use a little bit of water and a soft papertowel to clean it off, but if your cautious, you might want to buy some ofthe wipes at a compusa or some other store

I use the fear of death, it actualy keeps the smudges from apearing. People know if they touch my screen, they die

 

[CStroman]

If it says it works on anti-reflective surfaces, it should. If it doesn't, complain to the manufacturer.

Love that anti-reflective cleaner... they also sell at Sunglasses Hut and other places like that. Dang, I'm running low... someone find a hot deal!

 

[fatbaby]

would i be able to apply it on a active (turned on) monitor safely?

me too lazy

 

[CStroman]

I've cleaned my monitors while they were on before, it's fine.

Ummm, glass cleaner is bad for the monitor. It wipes off the anti-relfection coating already on it, and whatever coating manufacturers put on them. Plain water will do, w/ those soft hankerchief things.

Acetone and steel wool work great.

 

[AzNmAnJLH]

damp microfiber cloth and dry microfiber cloth

fatboy, I use this stuff by Kensington called Screen Guardian. I got it at my local Staples store. The UPC is 0 17693 12163 9. Hope this helps.

Soft cloth and warm water w/ a dry cloth afterwards works judt fine.

take tishoue... or however you spell that darn word... a bundle of paper.... take two of those, wet one of them with warm water and then go over the top part of your screen and right after dry it out with the dry bundle.. then go over each part of your screen. The trick is basicly to try it up quickly.


okok.. I guess I'm not awake, I wrote try instead of dry and some sh+t that wasnt supposed to be there, fixed now.

 

[AzNmAnJLH]

tissue is not recommended

 

[Kadarin]

hmph.. didn't know there was a science to it. I have always used Windex (since 1999) by spraying it directly on the monitor screen... never had any issue.

I don't bother to clean the monitor at work...

Wood Fibers in the paper can scratch and/or wear off the Anti-Reflective coating. Any good optician will tell you that! Keep doing it, an dover tim eyour screen will look like it's been smoothed out with some 200 grit sandpaper!
Soft Cotton cloth, with some Eyeglass Cleaner.

or some Steel Wool and Acetone will do! LOL!!

 

[tops2]

i just use water and soft cloth
works alright...

yeah, I know, thats why I try to use the softest tissue I can find

I use a lint-free soft cotton hand towel. Something that won't scratch the monitor. My monitor's instructions said to clean the monitor with a warm, damp towel and then wipe dry. That way you don't tear off the reflective coating.
