Clean an LCD Display Monitor
An LCD monitor is very easy to get dirty, either by dusts or fingerprints, especially when you’re working in a non Air Conditioning room or working outdoor a lot.
The problem is LCD monitor tend to be more easy to get scratch than a CRT monitor, so you would need to give a bit more attention when cleaning it.
To clean your LCD monitor you will need to prepare these things :
- A clean microfiber cloth or just find yourself the cleanest and smoothest cloth possible.
Attention: DO NOT USE tissue as it would leave small fibers on your screen. - Water.
- Isopropyl Alcohol(optional, if you don’t have one, plain water would work just fine).
Attention: if you prefer to use a cleaning products make sure it doesn’t contain ethyl alcohol, ethyl acid, ammonia, acetone, toluene, or methyl chloride. These chemicals can damage your LCD. - Spray Bottle(optional, but it would be better if you have one).
Now after you collect all the cleaning kit, let’s start with the procedure.
- Turn off your monitor for more easy view on the dirt.
- Mix the Isopropyl alcohol and water, the ratio would be 50:50 or less alcohol, and make sure they mixed well.
- Now spray the mixture to the cloth, NOT directly on the LCD. If you don’t have a sprayer, just dampen the clothes a bit.
- Wipe the screen very gently with the dampened cloth to clean the big dirt, then dampen the clean side of the cloth and wipe the monitor again to pick up the rest of the dirt. Don’t press too hard as this may cause pixels to burn out.
Note : to clean the dust you can methodically wipe it with vertical and horizontal movement, while to clean small stuff like fingerprints mark you can wipe it in circular motion. - Now clean the excess liquid from your monitor with dry cloth.
- You can turn on the monitor again now. since the cleaning is done.
Oh and don’t forget to clean the casing too, you can clean the casing by using any multipurpose cleaner, just make sure the liquid doesn’t touch your LCD screen.
