Caring for a LCD Monitor -or- How the Heck Do You Clean Your LCD Screen?
Well, this was going to be a post just asking how you clean your LCD monitor, but while typing it it dawned on me that I should check the Samsung website. I've also checked around online and a 50/50 solution of isopropyl (NOT ethyl) alcohol and water seems the best bet. Funnily enough, Samsung also mentions vinegar, but who wants their monitor smelling like that?
I guess I'll ask anyway: How exactly do you clean your LCD screen? Is it a shiny screen or a standard dull plastic looking one? Any advice on how you shouldn't clean it?
Here're Samsung's instructions if you're wondering:
