    One thing that can help you when cleaning your monitor is to turn it off for like 15 minutes just incase its hot, and when cleaning it, to use a flashlight so you can see all of the gunk on your screen easily.

    Water? What kind of water, tap water, mineral water, distilled water?
    I used to use tap water on my monitor and it leaves some streaks than can be seen on dark scenes of games.
    Now using a 50-50 alcohol and distilled water and it doesn't leave streaks anymore... but am I going to hurt my monitor by using alcohol solution on it?

    • @daniel.pendzich
      @daniel.pendzich 10 років тому +17

      I've been using alcohol to clean all my electronics and screens for the past 5 years and have never had an issue and I'm really picky about keeping my screen crystal clear. I think it's fine, although I don't have any research to back that up other than personal experience.

    • @12x8u
      @12x8u 10 років тому +7

      Water doesn't work for me. It's always leaving streaks.
      I use lots of 70% Alcohol and a micro fibre cloth. Never had any problems with the anti glare coating of my Samsung TFTs. Only the plastic bezel may get some grey shadows but as long as it doesn't completely dissolve, I don't care.

    • @DeFXX10
      @DeFXX10 10 років тому +2

      Distilled water is best but I find that a 1/3 mix of alcohol and distilled gets me good results. I also use a small spray bottle so I don't have to make up the solution to often.

      Alcohol is fine. DON'T USE AMMONIA! That is what is in windex.
      Basically the rule is, in electronics, never use ammonia. The main reason for that is it dissolves alkali metals and becomes quite conductive.
      Since anti-glare screens are typically a chemical coating of magnesium fluoride, and magnesium is an alkaline metal, you can see the problem here.

    One: i would never use paper based material to clean any screen or class surface, because the fibers in the paper may couse microscopic scratches, that will get more intence over time.
    Two: the isopropyl alcohol is great for glass surfaces, but I would recommend using rubber gloves, because your skin can absorb the alcohol, and it is very bad for your health.
    But still a nice guide, always enjoy watching :)

    For touchscreens, I simpy use a microfiber cloth. I'd never use alcohol on any screen. Touchscreens usually have oleophobic coating. Alcohol will kill that coating.

I can't stand when people don't respect other's tech property or property in general. It should be common sense not to touch a monitor or TV screen.

    "A clean screen without streaks" as your video clearly shows... streaks...
    You can clean streaks off of anti-glare screens using rubbing alcohol. But it has to be done properly. You need a reasonable amount to make a pure "black" wet mark with a microfiber cloth that covers the entire segment of the area of the screen, and dry off quickly with a polishing motion with a dry microfiber cloth. Heavy Duty Bounty or Kirkland Paper Towels make good substitutes for microfiber clothes as well.
    This method takes practice, I recommend a junk anti-glare screen to test this method on, until you perfect it. Warning: There may be some odd ball screens out there, that do not react well to alcohol. Although, I haven't found one yet. Some companies issue warnings about not using alcohol on their screens, but I half suspect that is more related to the paint of the shell of the product, and not the screen itself.

      Aaah. I just see a lot of these buckets of(what appears to be normal temp) water. It's obviously cold, because of the reactions, I just have seen so many of these that I had to ask if the people who started ALS challenge changed some of the rules, probably because people were dumping truckloads of ice on their friends and sending them to the hospital.

    I only use windex on my 24'' Dell monitor and have never had a issue with the anti glare. Now I know it isn't the best idea but so far over 4+ years, no issues.

      Get a can of compressed air, and start spraying that in to the PS4's Air vents on the back. as for laser cleaning i think there are kits that you have to use, but im not sure about that.

    • @HawkeyeTheCupcake

      Sell the PS4, and invest in a PC.

    You can dust off with a Swiffer duster first. That leaves only the gunk for the micro fiber cloth without pushing the dust and skin flakes around as well.

      If your fibre cloth is damp in the slightest it will become a streak making machine. Figured this out the hard way.

    Good vid - Completely agree on using only water. I have a question though, specifically when people I shall not name (someone I live with) decided to wipe, what looks like greasy, pizza grease stained fingers across my screen? Water doesn't seem to cut it. I don't notice it when the screen is on, however it is quite noticeable when it's off.
    Also - well done on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (you big girl lol) - your footage was better than mine (embarrassedlyshared on my profile)

    Water is all i have ever used to clean my 5 year old antiglare Dell 3008WFP and it still looks as good as the day i got it. On shiny surfaced monitors i have cleaned with water and used car wax lol. I have tested this on old devices with no ill effects and it has been awesome for the shiny non antiglare plastic screens.

  • @tjn0110

    I always think a dab and remove process is required before any swiping motions (ie. circular or straight), thus removing as much as possible without any movement, as movement of the dust/dirt highly increases the likelihood of scratches. Yes, it takes a lot more time.

    For my glasses as well is use foam soap from a public bathroom (I live in a facility) and put some on each lens on all sides and then rinse your glasses with hot course water then wipe off with paper towels-my glasses after are so immaculately clean it's like new. Maybe for computers, big screen, and smartphones do the same but use a spray bottle with hot water and get paper towels (public bathroom type).

    3:25 Congrats Linus. You are now the person to dump the most amount of water on their head, in the entire Universe. I've seen people scream and carry on after dumping a bottle of water on their head and pretending it to be a 'bucket', hence 'ice bucket'.
    Oh wait, there's more? 3:37
    Wow, you definitely win. Now that is an 'ice bucket' challenge.
    Congratulations Linus. :)

    I use a small cloth that comes with glasses. Nobody wants stains on their glasses and so it cleans very well. It is also free. I just went to a eye glass store and they gave it to me.

    Half water, half rubbing alcohol works better and doesn't need a polishing motion. Just a few quick swipes and you are done. I use it for the computer labs for the computer science school at Arizona State University.

    Newspaper is an even cheaper alternative to coffee filter...you might think that the ink would rub off while wiping, but it doesn't.
    I noticed that cheap restaurants like to use newspaper to clean their windows, and it works great.
