I now have a number of LCD panels in my house and need to find the best way to clean an LCD panel CLEAR. While I don't go putting my fingers on the panel on purpose, there are always intermittent greasy finger marks (like when I tried to massage a stuck pixel from my LCD tv).

When you clean an LCD screen with windex it leaves a slight film on the panel. So is there a better liquid solution?

Don't use Windex, the alcohol and ammonia in the mix will attack the surface of the screen leaving a haze. A micro-fiber wipe moistened with plain water will take care of most crud on the screen surface. If it really gets dirty, a dilute dishwash soap wipe followed by a plain water wipe to remove any residue is usually enough to clean the surface.

You know I have tried those wipes - [eshop.macsales.com] but they always leave streaks on the screen. They do clean off the fingerprints and such, but I haven't been able to get the screen as clean looking as it was when new. (This is a DELL 2005FPW, by the way).

That's what the second wipe is for. Buff the screen with that. I use it on my 2405, & powerbooks, works great.

I was at MacWorld SF in 2004 and I saw a demo of this:

[www.radtech.us]

and I immediately bought a case for resale to my clients. They demonstrated their cleaner against a few others on the market (not sure if iKlear was there), and all but the OmniCleanz left residue.

This stuff cleans screens better than anything I have seen. No, I don't have anything to gain by saying these things (although I wish I did), it is just this stuff works and I don't have to think about it. People swear by iKlear, but this stuff is great and it keeps all my screens as clear as new.

“I have developed significant attachments to several members even though I wouldn't recognize them if I sat next to one on a park bench. I'm often tempted when in an airport to walk around, hollering "The Løpe", to see if anyone other than the Homeland Security people will acknowledge me. ” - The Løpe

This stuff is great.

Superior to iKlear in just about every way except the packets are trés handy for travel.

•iClean is cheaper than iKlear.
•It's more convenient to use- spray on, wipe off. Thank you, Mr. Miyagi.
•The spray is slightly viscous and will
not run.
•It cleans dirt, soda, and fingerprints extremely well. (I just clean the dust.)
•It comes with a microfiber cloth for one-step cleaning and buffing.
•Does not streak.

Now for the most part, a soft cloth slightly dampened with water followed by a soft dry towel will work very well if not as well, and it just about free. But iClean is much more convenient.

It comes in bottles with a microfiber cloth, so it's not quite as travel ready as the iKlean packets.

iClear can be found at CompUSA, Radio Shack (I think) and amazon.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

I totally agree on iClean. I used iKlear for years and, while you can get your screen perfectly clean if you buff it quickly enough, iClean does it with hardly any effort, every time. Not sure if it works on the glossy screens though.

Yeah, I've used the buffing wipe, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. Perhaps I am not getting to it quickly enough?

We've got stuff in little saches at work (I can't rmember what it's called), it works quite well, but they are pretty expensive.


Microfibre cloth and water works wonders for me. Better than the commercial product.
