    Default Flat panel LCD screens...

    If you have one, what do you use to clean it? Woul;d Windex or other glass cleaners be ok to use? Later, QD.

    I use water. I read a tip on it a couple of years back just to just a wet paper towel.

    It takes off pretty much everything.

    my samsung came with a cloth to clean it with. not sure about using a paper towel but you are supposed to lightly mist the screen with water. the cloth is similar to a sunglass cloth

    You should just use a dry microfiber cloth, like on sunglasses or computer screens, but I couldn't see the harm in a damp paper towel.

    I keep hearing the microfiber cloth item, but I can't see it cleaning fingerprints. Later, QD.

    It can clean the other because they're hard glass. You need something softer and milder to clean the soft surface of the LCD.

    Wet paper towel has always done it for mine. I'm on my second LCD, (I gave my old 15" to my sister. I have a 19" widescreen now) and I still clean it the same way.

    i wouldnt use a paper towel. can leave behind the lil residue stuff. The microfiber cloth would work best with water if its just dust. if its oily fingerprints stuff just pick up a LCD panel spray from a store there are tons out there and all work about the same. But only really use that if its finger prints u want gone.

    You don't want to use ammonia on it, just like window film it will eventually discolor it (you know that cool purple tint on peoples cars). I'm trying to figure out what the Monster iClean is made of, http://www.monstercable.com/productP...t.asp?pin=2105 it's $25 a freakin bottle but the BEST stuff i've ever used....haven't bought any but used it at Circuit Shitty a couple times after purchasing demo items.

    I'm sure a non-ammonia glass cleaner would work fine and be 1/6 the price but you still want something that is anti-static otherwise it will just suck dust to it right directly after wiping.

    From the description on monsters website Plexi-glass cleaner seems to be the exact same thing and it's a whole lot cheaper. http://www.topoftheline.com/plexclean.html ...just always use a clean microfiber.

    I think too much
