	LCD Cleaning...
superlion Mega Fish Posts: 1246 Kudos: 673 Votes: 339 Registered: 27-Sep-2003	So I have had this laptop for a couple years and haven't done anything to keep the screen clean. It's really gross! I was wondering what everyone's solutions are for cleaning LCDs because I take it most cleaning products are not good for the screen... It's finally getting on my nerves. Yuck. ><>

This is what i found on a site " Flat Panel LCDs LCD monitors are often called flat panel monitors because they are flat and thin. These are the types of screens that are used in most laptop computers, and they are also becoming very popular for desktop computers. LCD screens are softer than CRT glass screens, so they require some extra tender loving care. Keep your fingers and sharp objects away from these screens since they are susceptible to damage and scratches. Use a soft dry cotton cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges from the screen. If this does not completely remove the dirt and splotches, use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on the cleaning cloth that has been dampened with water. (A small amount of vinegar can be substituted for the isopropyl alcohol.) Again, spray the liquid on the cloth and never directly onto the screen. Do not use paper towels on an LCD screen as they can scratch the screen. Never use ammonia, ammonia-based cleaners, or strong cleaners which can cause the surface to yellow and become brittle. It is good to have a special clean cloth that is dedicated to use on the LCD screen. Don’t pick up any old rag, as dirt particles in the rag can scratch the surface of the screen. Special LCD cleaning cloths are available and can be an excellent investment. The best cleaning method is to stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom. Why not make cleaning your computer monitor a part of your spring cleaning, as well as a part of your regular cleaning routine? It will allow you to see more clearly, for sure.

That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions
