Default What to use to clean the screen...

Some niave person at work decided to use his finger on the screen when he was checking out my PPC. Not sure of what I can use to clean the screen. Any suggestions?

Damp lint free soft cloth or tissue is the best.

It's normally a bad idea to use chemical cleaners on LCD's.

Jimminy!

I use my finger lots of times to enter my power-on password, and sometimes to navigate my way around on my PPC. I'm hard-pressed to see any fingerprints on my PPC, although its never been sheathed in any kind of cover. If something does get on my screen display -- like smudged peanut butter while I'm eating my lunch -- I just take a dry napkin and rub it 'til it's clean. I have a screen protector on the display, so I'm not concerned at all about tiny surface scratches. After all, it's just a PPC... ;-)

I also use a screen protector, and when it gets smudges or dust on it, I just breathe lightly on the surface and wipe it with the tail of whatever shirt I happen to be wearing at the time. Without a sreen protector, I'd still breathe on it, but would probably only use an old soft cotton t-shirt or handkerchief.

I'd strongly advise you against using a napkin or paper towel as these tend to be made of somewhat coarse, abrasive fibers. Tissues tend to have way too much lint and usually leave dust and lint in the corners of the display making it worse than when you started.

I am not using Klearscreen Screen Protectors. I am just using the cleaning products they make. They are great and keep the screen in a perfect shape... I do not like screen protectors... :roll:

Spit on your screen and wipe it with a frieking shirt 8)





You could do that, but that is me with a screen protector on. I here Plexus (search for it) glass cleaner works great on screens!

I got a microfiber screen-cleaning cloth from Fellowes for $5. No lint or dust and no cleaners needed. But now that I have WriteShields on the screen, it never gets smudged anymore

Is that a napkin soaked in Budweiser?

As I said earlier, I just use a dry napkin...
