Cleaning a TFT and keeping it clean in the first place?

Feek · 06-03-2007, 20:28

I never touch screens so they don't get fingerprints but my oldest TFT could use a good clean and I don't want my new one to get into that state.

What's good to clean a dirty TFT and what's a good way to maintain the nice clean-ness of my new one?

That's spooky. I've been meaning to create this thread for days

I'm psychic!

Anyone tried these?

I just use a damp cloth and dry it straight away with a lint free cloth to avoid streaks.

Right brand, wrong product, they're pants unfortunately. We got them sent by mistake, decided to give them a go... regretted it.

At work, we keep a stash of these. I have them at home too

I might have some of those at work, I'll try them. My problem is more dust than dirt.

I use a bottle of squirty stuff I got from PC world, and a sock. If there's smudges I buff 'em out with an old glasses cloth.

Looks ideal for me

So purchased. My Widescreen TFT got a bit smeared thanks to an erm 'incident' with some milk from a bowl of cereal. *looks innocent*

We use "dynolube" (ooer) anti static foam cleaner at work. It's ok, but you have to be careful else it leaves smears. At home I have a screen shammy [sic] that I bought in the states. Seems to work ok:

Even though I said I'd grab some of those wipes from work, I tried the slightly damp lint-free cloth on my oldest and dustiest/smearyest screen and it did a very good job.
