Does anyone know of a way to remove smudges from screens with antiglare coating?? One of my roomates touched my screen (!!!) and left his fingerprints damn near all over it. It's an lcd so I can't really use much to wipe it off. I did try a very soft felt cloth, and but it didn't really do much. If anyone has any ideas, please. Gaming in a dark scene sucks because one of the smudges is right in the middle of the screen.

argggggg

LCD monitors.. I had some for my lappy screen that worked wonderfully.. EZ Wipes or something..

First off there's no anti-glare coating on an LCD. LCDs don't glare because they aren't glass. Because it's a plastic you should NEVER use any harsh chemical on it (like ammonia) to clean it. For that matter you should NEVER use harsh chemicals on a glass monitor either because it'll erode the anti-glare coating.

You can use anything that's alchohol based to clean it - even rubbing alchohol.

NEVER USE A PAPER TOWEL ON AN LCD!! Paper towels have impurities that will scratch the screen. Use a clean, lint-free cloth (old hankerchef works nice for me or old t-shirts) and moisten it with rubbing alchohol (pure rubbing alchohol - nothing with any additives).

Walmart and other places sell a monitor/LCD screen cleaner that's a spray that's basically alchohol based that works well.

Walmart also sells moist wipes for cleaning eye-glasses that work fine for LCDS (also alchohol based).

NEVER spray anything directly onto the screen - otherwise it'll drip down inside the monitor. Instead spray it onto the cloth and then clean the screen with the damp cloth.
