Cleaning Up Your Plasma Display

By Anthony M. Peña


We adore our flat screen monitors, don't we? LCD. LED. Plasma... Unfortunately, the most recent technology needs more than good old Windex as a computer screen cleaner. Think of the screen's surface as a newborn's skin and you grasp the delicacy that is needed.

First rule: NEVER put a little pressure on the screen surface as this causes pixel burnout quite easily.

Secondly, use NO disposable towels, toilet tissue, tissue paper, bath toweling, or any random fabric. These will scratch your display like sandpaper. Ideally, use something like those microfiber cloths sold for cleaning eyeglasses. You'll need to have two available.

Rule three: the cleaning agent. Avoid computer screen cleaners containing acetone, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, methyl chloride, toluene, or ethyl acid which can react with the flat screen material, causing yellowing of the screen or other unsalvageable damage. Fortunately , there are many products available from quality providers like ComputerScreenCleaner.com made for this reason.

Turn your monitor off. The darker the screen, the less complicated grimy or oily areas may be seen. Moisten your soft cloth with computer screen cleaner. (NEVER spray liquid immediately on the screen which can simply drip within the monitor, destroying it.)

Wipe the screen in one direction, top to bottom, with the 'grain ', applying as little pressure as practical. Then with the dry cloth, follow the same pattern to remove remaining moisture from the screen's surface.

Resist the natural urge to clean on unyielding spots. Instead , moisten your fabric again and patiently 'coax ' the spot away with the same mild top-to-bottom motion.

After cleaning, it is best to be completely certain that your monitor screen is dry before utilising the PC. You may use any sort of multiple purpose cleaner to scrupulously clean up the edge round the screen, so long as you don't touch the screen itself. Ultimately , use a computer screen cleaner to brighten your reading experience!
