I was just wondering what people use to clean their laptop LCDs? Mines getting pretty dirty and I don't want to scratch up the screen while cleaning it with the wrong stuff. Any suggestions?

i use one of those tissues that is for cleaning glasses. it's really soft yet removes any kind of stain, including fatty fingerprints, dried-out water and other beverages and so far, anything that happened to land on my screen got removed painlessly and with no scratches.
i clean my screen at least 5 times/day and so far haven't noticed any damage to the very sensitive LCD screen... you can get it for a very low price in every store that sells glasses, but i'd suggest you buy a high-quality product for i know you don't wanna be exchanging your screen every now-and-then

hope this helps

I use a soft cloth to get rid of the dust build up, you can buy them at wal-mart as they are sunglasses cleaning lense cloths....very soft. Other than that for smudges and such i would recomend something that you can buy so you don't damage your screen. I have some lcd wipes from circuit city for smudges. I have yet to use them, but when i do i will let you know how they work.

Hi guys,

I thought I'd just post this for more LCD protection products, and I don't know if it has been mentioned before:-

ShaggyMAC

Looks like they produce the same sort of product as RadTech. Do they just buy a HUGE roll of that microfibre and then cut it to specification and sell it at a higher price?

What's nice about ShaggyMAC is that you can custom cut your clothe to fit your laptop.

I also came across this NuShield on a Sager, and MaCally Screen Protector also have the same sort of thing. Does anyone know about these?

Are they good for the LCD? Are they easy to apply? Would the ShaggyMAC version fit on a Voodoo notebook? Or do you think they are only for Macs?

I'm considering buying either the stand-alone clothe or I might just buy both. Has anyone had any experience with the screen protector?

:L:

There's been a lot of talk about this before. Try searching if you want all the details, but from what I've found, it's best to use a lint-free cloth (something like what's been suggested already - a glasses cloth or the like) and gently rub the screen without putting much pressure on it. Even with minimal pressure, any smudge will go away if you go over it enough times. Some people say they use windex and a paper towel, but to me, it seems stupid to put chemicals on such an expensive and delicate screen when it's not necessary. In the end it's down to you. Good luck.

I purchased a container of anti static wipes from Wal Mart the other day. Low alcohol content, really works well.
