Cleaning Laptop Screen
by shariff - 3/16/05 1:05 PMHi,
I just got a sony S series notebook and it has one of those Xbrite screens, which get dirty really fast. I tried cleaning it with a soft cloth but the fingure prints won't come off. Somebody suggested using an alcohol wipe.......is that okay? Does anyone know how to clean the screen without damaging it! Thanks in advance

no alcohol on laptop screen

I would not suggest using alcohol on your screen. Over time it will "yellow" the screen. This page has some information I found usefull: http://www.shaggymac.com/plugged.php
Their store has some really good laptop goodies. There are other stores online with similar items as well.
Lcd Cleaner Update
by meatyocre - 3/1/06 3:27 PM In reply to: no alcohol on laptop screen by meatyocreSaw a post about Shaggymac's new lcd cleaner called Optimist Prime:

It looked good and I bought a bottle with their polishing cloth. It worked awesome! It is comforting to know that the cleaner you are using is "aerospace" grade and will safely clean any optical surface. The techs and network engineers at work were all impressed and ordered a case for the company. Many thumbs up.
laptop screen lcd cleaner and laptop screen protector
by mobiguru - 7/26/07 6:21 PM In reply to: Lcd Cleaner Update by meatyocreThe Optimist Prime works great. I opted for the Prime Pack BTO, which allows you to customize a cleaning kit for your needs.

Also the Shaggymac Laptop Screen Protector continues to be my favorite laptop accessory ever. My Thinkpad T60's LCD is still mint and it works great to wipe down the screen & case.
What to use
by kstorm16 - 4/8/05 2:52 AM In reply to: Cleaning Laptop Screen by shariffI use a product called Klear Screen. In fact I swear by it. It is good for LCD and CDs & DVDs. It comes in pre-moistened wipes or with a pump bottle and cloths. I prefer the Bottle and clothes as it is more economical. It is availible online and at computer shops. Later,

alcohol BASED cleaners are fine....
by server - 4/8/05 8:12 AM In reply to: Cleaning Laptop Screen by shariffAs an Optician, we primarily use lens cleaners that are all (mostly) alcohol based cleaners. If you want to clean your screen properly, buy some optical quality lens cleaner (good for AR coated lenses) and also get an optical lint-less shamy too. You will not regret it.

Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
by mmehall - 4/9/05 10:43 AM In reply to: Cleaning Laptop Screen by shariffCheck out the Microfiber Cleaning Cloths. They do a great job of removing fingerprints and smudges from the screen. 3M sells one under the Scotch-Brite brand. You can find them in hardware, drug stores and grocery stores.

I second the notion
by theding0 - 4/9/05 6:32 PM In reply to: Microfiber Cleaning Cloths by mmehallI agree. Whatever cleaning products you decide to use, always keep a microfiber cloth on hand. I use them all over the place; I keep 1 with my digital camera, 1 set aside for my computer LCD screen, and 1 for my truck windows. More often then not, you can use them dry to buff off fingerprints and the like. You can buy an 8 pack of them at Wal-mart for about $5, I think (in the automtive cleaning isle in most stores...or electronics, depending on the size of the cloth you want.

Cleaning laptop screens
by dowesner - 4/11/05 8:59 AM In reply to: Cleaning Laptop Screen by shariffThe best and safest way is use a quart of warm water (preferably distilled water, which will not leave deposits) plus ONE or TWO drops of detergent to lower surface tension - not more. Anything more than this may be too harsh for some screens. This method is very good for removing stubborn fingerprints. However, some screens that look simple enough actually have a delicate chemical coating, so beware of rubbing too hard. It is also good for the coated glass used on some monitor screens, and LCD screens generally. I should add that I recently had a 17" NEC CRT whose glass cover was coated. I foolishly started rubbing with alcohol and removed a small area of the coating. The result is, I'm stuck with a clear patch the size of a penny which constrasts with the rest of the screen where the coating is intact. So beware of rubbing too hard with anything! I don't know about commercial wipes.
