   Flat panel monitors are commonly used in mobile devices such as laptop and table PCs. Similarly, smart phones, PDAs calculators have LCD screens. LCD screens are much softer than old CRT screens, so they required extra care as compare to the CRT Monitors.

   First read the LCD manufacturer manual about your LCD model on how to safe and clean it.

   To clean LCD monitor first unplugs your LCD power from the electrical outlet.

   Never use dirty cloth, spray any cleaning fluids on the LCD screen and paper towel to dry it.

   Always use dry cotton cloth to clean the fingerprints and dust on the LCD screen. You can use lightly dampened soft cloth if you feel any difficulty to clean the screen.

   Windex and a paper towel work good on a CRT screen.

   If you have a LCD screen ammonia found in Windex and most other glass cleaners will permanently etch and cloud the screen.

   Buy a bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol in a drug store.
   You want to make a solution of 40%-50% Isopropyl Alcohol

   For 90% Isopropyl Alcohol
   In a spray bottle add equal parts of:
   Isopropyl Alcohol
   Water

   For 70% Isopropyl Alcohol
   In a spray bottle add.
   2 parts Isopropyl Alcohol
   1 part Water

   Use microfiber cloth. Paper tissues can scratch your screen.

   "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. You’re done! Your screen should now be sparkling clean."

   I can only speak for myself, and tell you what I do. I have always been the ‘wild card’, in everything. After it’s been off, and the screen discharged, from non use. I hose it, with blue Windex, and clean it good, with a good quality paper towel. Works for me. No side effects so far. My business, and life, depend on my computer.

   I use Alcohol prep pads used by doctors preparing to give a shot or insert an IV (my mom and step dad both work in a hospital… we have those things all over the place)

   You can dilute rubbing alcohol in water, and use that mixture with a lint free cloth. Don’t use too much water, the reason Alcohol is used is because it dries very quickly (great for electronics)

   But do not use windex or any other glass cleaner. The ammonia in them can strip away at a clear coating out he outside of your CRT screen.

   Aircan or simple wet towel with Windex.

   If you are removing black magic market then you use rubbing alcohol.
