||What is the best cleaner for an LCD screen? I have run into the same problem
||now twice. First, on my Planar desktop LCD, i used a little 90% alcohol on
||a soft cloth and wiped gently. The result was these blotchy streaks that I
||have not yet been able to get out. It appears to be some kind of oil or
||grit--a blotch of film in the center of the screen would be the best way to
||describe it.
||
||I recently tried cleaning my laptop screen with pretty much the same
||results. It is only noticable when the screens are off and the light hits it
||a certain way, but there IS something on it. I don't see how it could be a
||chemical reaction considering every major manufactor of LCD's says to use
||alcohol. Water seems to leave traces as well. Is there something out there
||that I should try? Assuming I haven't damaged my screens, any suggestions as
||to what to do next? I mean, I should be able to clean these screens without
||leaving a film.
||
||Thanks,

Andrew from West Lafayette, Ind., called asking if he can use glass
cleaner to clean his laptop screen.
"Do not use solvents such as ammonia or alcohol to clean a laptop
screen. They can damage the screen's coatings. Get a good nonabrasive
lint-free dry cloth, such as the notebook-cleaning cloths from 3M, and
use Klear Screen, Monitor Lizard, or a similar cleaning product. "
