Hiyas, may seem like a silly question, but I apparently couldn't resist touching my LCD screen and now I've got fingerprints on it lol.

I havenever owned a laptop beofre and never really thought about cleaning an LCd screen before, but I can't imagine Windex would be good for the screen?

Thanks for your time...



(Couldn't risk posting about the 8600's screen without smashing a few bananas lol)

Get 3M cleaning clothes. They are available in nearly any supermarket or drugstore or hardware store. They do not require cleansers and they will not hurt your screen. You can wash them and should regularly because even though they won't scratch, they could pick up something that could. Just use gentle firm pressure and repeated strokes. It will clean anything on smooth or semi-smooth surfaces.

I also like Klear Screen (I think that's how it's spelled) wipes. They can also be found at most computer stores. They come as both wet and dry cloths (I like the dry -- no streaks).
