Cleaning LCD TV Screens
 

Hi all,
My LCD TV Screen looks lika a can of coke or somthing has been
opened near it!
there are several stuck on blotches on it, what is best for cleaning thease
screens?

I have some ADC Screen Cleaner made by AGFA that I use on my CRT Monitors
but can see nothing on it that it is safe for LCD Screens.
Any thoughts please?
Mick.

I would have thought that any sort of water based detergent cleaner would be
safe (such as the kind in a plastic bottle with a lever on the side).

If that doesn't work, meths on a cloth.

(If it really is just from a 'can of coke' plain water would do.)

I think I read that Reckitt Benckiser (makers of Cillit Bang) were
about to release a version of Brillo for cleaning electronic
equipment. Whether this is intended for cleaning screens would
require a careful reading of the instructions.

I'm no expert, but the cleaner is presumably only going to come in
contact with the glass of the screen and the plastic surface that frames
it. I wouldn't have thought that what lies behind those surfaces would
have any effect on what sort of cleaner could be used.

I hope you realise that the "glass of the screen" in the case of a flat
screen is usually not glass but some sort of plastic, and thus the
possibility of a solvent reacting with it is quite important.

Not only is the screen a plastic and not glass but they also have
special surface treatments that some solvents could remove.
What do the manufactures instructions advise?

No, I'm afraid that I didn't realise that the surface differed from that
of a CRT screen. As I said, I'm no expert. My apologies to the OP.

I've just checked the screen cleaner I use myself, and I'm glad to see
that it states that it is suitable for all types of screen, including
LCD. It just calls itself "Screen cleaner" and is made by a Danish firm
called AM: www.amdenmark.com

Never use alcohol or sprit on plastic. It may be OK or it may take the
surface off or it may cause the plastic to go brittle and crack but that may
take several days-weeks to show up. The manufactures suggest water and mild
detergent. IE fairy liquid.

Or, even milder, Ecover Washing-up Liquid. pH of about 5.5 undiluted and
more of a soap.
The antibacterial sprays /should/ be mild as they're intended for plastic
containers, surfaces etc. I use one on possibly delicate items where the
manufacturer warns about cleansers and have never noticed any problems.

Lindy make an LCD screen cleaner - I have a spray. But you spray a
cloth not the screen.
