Fingerprints all over my screen

Go and buy any cheap CD cleaning system. You'll probably find a spray with Isopropyl Alcohol as well. It's cheap and perfect. That's not for your screen only :)

How do you clean a tft screen with out using a tissue,spray,wet cloth?

why would you want to throw your monitor away and get a new one when you can just simply wipe your tft screen carefully.It is very disturbing when you say ''keep a knife beside you and chop off peoples fingers when they touch your screen''.

This has got to be one of my pet hates too. The screen toucher! Argh! Why, oh why do people insist on jabbing the screen with their grubby paws when pointing something out? For goodness sakes just point roughly in the direction you want me to look. If you're articulate enough I can probably work it out!

Cleaning Instructions: Mix Isopropyl alcohol and distilled water in equal parts (50/50) inside an empty Windex-like bottle. Do not use tap water! Doing so will leave white smears on your screen after cleaning it up because of the dissolved minerals inside the water. When finished mixing, just close the bottle using the "spray" adaptor that comes attached to it.

Next, you will need to find a good, soft piece of microfiber cloth to clean your display. Avoid paper tissues at all cost! Using those on your screen would be just like scrubbing sandpaper on it and may scratch it permanently. You wouldn't want to do that right?

Now that we have everything we need, start by turning off your screen. Dampen your piece of soft cloth with your cleaning mixture and then wipe the display gently from top to bottom. Never spray liquid directly onto the LCD. When you're done, wait a few minutes to let your screen dry, and then turn it back on. Voila, you're done! Your screen should now be sparkling clean.

This is how you clean your screen:

First, do not touch the screens with your fingers. The underlying transistors will react to the static electricity in your fingers, or may get damaged by the pressure thus exerted. This will eventually produce dead pixels; tiny, inoperative, or colored dots impairing picture quality.
You Better Not Touch

Second, do not spray a liquid cleanser directly onto your screen. Advanced flat-screens have a highly sensitive protective coating. Cleaning may impair or even penetrate this thin coating, and drip via the glass surface into the device itself causing irreparable damage.

The choice of professionals is a Foam Cleaner.

Third, use a good foam cleaner that is non aggressive and neither drips nor sticks in screen frames. Spray a little foam on a soft (antistatic) cloth, or just above screen center line. Do not spray onto the screen frame. Now carefully spread the foam with a soft (paper) tissue from top to bottom without exerting pressure. This makes your screen perfectly clean without leaving any residue or causing damage

its better to throw it away and get new one. for the next time always keep a knife besides your TFT to cut idiot's figures you can nut your figure also if it touches TFT:)

"I apologize if this sounds short-tempered, but when there are starving children all over the world, women and children alike getting beaten to death by abusive husbands, muderers running rampant, and any other horror that one can imagine fingerprints on a computer screen seems just a bit self-centered."

That's a bit ridiculous, really. To compare a computer monitor to all those things in the first place..
But then, most of us are generic work drones. There's not alot we can do about starving children in third world countries, but by god we can protect the pristine condition of our monitors.

I agree with the griper though. It's so frustrating to have something nice, for it to be damaged or ruined by someone within 5 minutes.

Solving world hunger, disease, war, and all that stuff is virtually impossible to solve. Otherwise, these scourges would have been dealt with long ago. People tend to whine about local problems for which there is probably a solution. That way there is at least a hope that the individual's world might be improved, even if it's just a little bit. Making a comparison between death and destruction vs a dirty monitor seems a tad unfair, and one might be tempted to take this argument to some exterme where absolutely *nothing* matters except to stop world hunger et al. I suspect posters such as War Baby might be a bit hypocritical if they have ever worried about a small personal matter, whether it is a dirty monitor or what to get your wife for her birthday.

I totally understand your point...stupid people at my office keep touching my screen and I really really want to cut their fingers off their annoying hands!!! you´re right, it's YOUR monitor...people shouldn't even come near to it...next time smack the idiot in the back of his head :-)
