I find the dishwasher works quite well. The screen came out perfectly
clean. It's just a shame I did not read the instructions and
disconnect it from the mains first :-(.

"seabat" wrong:
Flat out WRONG. 70% isopropyl alcohol is 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30%
water; there are NO "oils" in the mixture, regardless of its being labeled
as "rubbing" alcohol or not.
As far as "denatured" alcohol goes, it is ethanol with other components
added, rendering it toxic for consumption so that you won't drink it. As I
said before, ethanol is *not* good for coatings.

I feel that I have to add my own cry of "flat out wrong" here:
Denaturated alcohol is not more toxic than normal alcohol. It
is designed to taste wrong and unpleasant. However there are those
that will not have the money to buy real alcohol and some of those
do drink it. In order not to poison these people denaturated
alcohol is not toxic. There is also the secondary consideration
that any toxic addition would be dangerous when it evaporates or
is burned, e.g. to start coal in a grill.
So? I have never noticed any efect and until recently I have been
using it ob several CRTs for years. You do realize that this is
armour-glass and the coatings are a bit different that what you have
on plastic, metal or "soft" glass?

That is not only incorrect, it is irresponsible to print such fallacies. I
suggest you peruse the vast number of MSDS on the web and open your eyes up
to the reality of the common substances used to "denature" ethanol. Hint:
the overwhelming majority of them (if not all of them) are toxic or harmful
when consumed.
Good for you, Arno, but your limited personal observations do not translate
into a universal suitability for that application. Ethyl alcohol is *not*
acceptable for cleaning *all* monitors, whereas isopropyl alcohol *is*.
If you want to play guessing games with the known properties of chemicals
knock yourself out, but don't be surprised when you make a mistake.

The manual for one of my two Sony monitors (A240, 2002 printing) states "Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleanser, scouring power, or
solvents such as alcohol or benzene, as they might damage the
anti-reflective coating."
However, my E540 manual (2001 printing) states only to "Clean the screen
with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type
of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this
may scratch the screen's coating." No mention of solvents here.
Since the manual warning about solvents is a newer printing, maybe that
advise should be the best guide.

Bob, I already replied to this concern of yours, but since you did not reply
to *that* post, I will repeat the contents here.
This is due to the flammability of using _any_ solvent for cleaning (and
Sony being liable for some idiot burning themselves up by not taking the
normal precautions one takes when one uses *any* solvent for *any* purpose).
As far as Sony saying not to use "alcohol", this is due to the vast number
of idiots who too dim-witted to realize that different alcohols have vastly
different properties. Just as you wouldn't want to drink methanol or
isopropanol, you wouldn't want to use ethanol or methanol for cleaning your
monitor, as these *will* damage the coating (especially ethanol).
I *specified* isopropyl alcohol, because I *meant* isopropyl alcohol, not
another chemical which falls under the category of an alcohol, of which
there are thousands.
Isopropyl alcohol, when used carefully by an adult, is a safe and effective
medium for cleaning any monitor, regardless of coating.

Deninitely not. "may" is the word here. I occasionally have even

I just delved into this thread after having it pointed out to me on another.
Guy, its *easy* to admit you were wrong on this 'paper' thing. Try it,
you'll feel better and the rest of the group won't consider you to be
such a tit.
The other spinoff is that your killfile will inevitably become smaller
as you won't have to KF everyone who proves you wrong.
but then again, it is funny watching you dig, dig and dig a little more!
