how do you clean a LCD computer screen?

We clean several Laptop screens a day and it is really quite easy and very inexpensive.\n\nMix 50% Isopropyl Alcohol with 50% Distilled Water in a spray bottle.  Get a soft cotton cloth and spray the mixture onto the cloth.  Then gently clean the screen with the cloth.  The mixture will evaporate pretty quickly and leave you with a nice clean screen.  You may have to do it 2 or 3 times in a row to get all of the junk off the screen.\n\nWhat not to do:\n\n1. Do not use Windex or any chemical cleaners.  These are really bad for the screen and may even void your warranty.\n2. Do not spray the mixture onto the screen.  The liquid may drip down the screen and get into the bottom of the lcd and short it out.\n3. Do not scrub the screen or use your fingernails.\n4. Use a clean spray bottle not one that may have leftover chemicals from a previous use.\n\nYou want to use Distilled water not tap water.  Distilled water contains no minerals.  Tap water and most bottled waters have minerals and will leave streaks across the screen.

With LCD screens, the normal lifespan is about 50,000 hours which gives you about 5 years unless you try to clean it with a knife

As others have indicated, LCD screens are generally not built to withstand excessive touching or other pressure (sometimes laptops can even be damaged by applying too much pressure to them when closed up. e.g. setting something heavy on top of them)\n\nDurability can vary, of course, from one manufacturer to the next, but a few things to keep in mind:\n\n While touching (lightly) with your finger is not likely to do more than leave a smudge, your fingernail is capable of scratching the screen and really spoiling your day.\n\n  You should be careful when cleaning the screen. Be especially careful with any chemicals you use. Often "window cleaners" are the WRONG choice. Check with the manufacturer for recommendations, but something as simple as a damp, soft cloth is probably best.\n\n  There are protective screens available on the market. They can not only offer protection to your LCD screen's surface, they can also change the surface appearance to suit your preference. (e.g. a glass-like surface if you prefer, or a softer, matted finish, to reduce glare on your display)\n\nGood luck.

I agree with most people. You will have to buy a new LCD screen. You warranty might cover accidental damage, check into that first.\n\nIf not http://www.screentekinc.com or eBay should have your screen.\n\nGood luck.

If there is a bad bit o'dirt on it and you can't remove it with a dry piece of cloth, you can dampen the cloth but be sure you unplug the laptop first and take the battery out. Then be careful none of the liquid gets inside the machine (on the edges of the screen for example)

Pick up a can of "dust off" it is compressed air.  If the dust got in, it should be able to be blown out, or at least off to the side where it isn't in your drawing.  I personally would just dissassemble the screen carefully.  They do come apart.  But, if you are not sure of yourself.. then I would try the air.  It is non conductive, non abrasive and should do the job for under $5 and a few seconds.\nGood luck.. TonyD

1.) Hit the DeGauss button or menu item on the monitor.\n\n2.) Move any other monitors or electical devices away from the monitor.\n\n3.) Get a new monitor.

You can purchase screen wipes that do the job well.\n\nAny soft, clean, lint free, mosit cloth will do.  Don't spray anything directly onto the screen as it can run down and dribble into the monitor and avoid any harsh or abrasive cleaners.\n\nIf it's got sticky finger marks try a small amount of ordinary household soap then wipe over with a clean damp cloth.  I use damp cotton buds for getting into the corners.

Honestly no. Scratches on an lcd monitor are permanent. If you hear about anybody selling products that will magically make the scratches disappear, I guarantee you that it is a scam. If the scratch is serious, then the pixels around the scratched area are also destroyed, meaning the individual light particles can no longer be correctly be displayed in that area.

my laptop manufacturer recomends window cleaner and a lint free cloth.  that's what I use and it works without harm to the screen.
