Best way to clean an LCD screen

I would like to know the best way to clean the LCD display for my macbook.

Apple has a Knowledge Base Article with their own suggestions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60446
They also suggest a "damp" (water only) cloth. Apple includes a very nice microfiber cloth with all of their LCD displays. Why they don't include the same cloth with the computers that have built-in LCD screens, I have no idea. It would be nice if their own cloth was available as a retail product too.

    what is the best way to clean a soft screen on a laptop

    i dont know what you mean by "a soft screen", but read this: To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.

    The new retina screen is wonderful, but I got finger prints on the sides and top, just from opening and closing it. It happens even when I'm finicky. Any trick to that? But more importantly: what's the best way to clean it again. Thanks for any info!

    I have tried the included cloth but that is not working very well - & I don't want to use something that will cause streaks. Any suggestions?

    Apple strongly recommends DO NOT USE ANY CHEMICALS.
    Use a lightly damp clothe with water only and clean your screen.

  • Best way to clean imac screen...

    Hi...
    wondering the best way to clean the imac screen - first time i have had a lcd screen
    thanks

    Nick,
    The user guide recommends that one dampen a lint free cloth with water and use it to clean the screen. There are a few commercial products that work well, including Monster iClean and iKlear. Be sure to avoid any product with alcohol or ammonia. Also, whether you use water or a cleaning product, spray the cloth, not the screen directly.

  • Best way to clean 2010 MBP antiglare screen

    Hi guys,
    Anyone got any tips on the best way to clean the antiglare screen on 2010 MBPs?
    I have a couple of fingerprint smudges etc. on it but haven't wanted to attempt to clean it with anything as I don't know much about the surface of the screen (and therefore what might potentially ruin it!)
    Thanks!

    Do not use any cleaning agents other than pure (preferably distilled) water, so no residue is left.
    Have 2 soft cloths. Dampen one, wipe the screen with it in even up/down motion, and then immediately dry up the screen with the dry cloth, so no streaks are left. Do not rub too much, just gently mop up the thin film of water.
    This works really well for finger prints and stuck dust.
    If you only have a few dust specs, try compressed can of air first.

  • Best way to clean laptop screen??

    What is the best way to clean a laptop screen?

    If you are only talking about fingerprints and dust, a microfiber cloth works great.  Gets everything off without scratching.
    If there are things on the screen that don't come off by wiping, do not use chemical or spray products as they can get into places they don't belong.  A slightly damp cloth, very very slightly damp not wet, and wipe only on the screen surface, not along the edges where moisture can get inside.
    But if you use any moisture you have to be really careful as electronics and liquids do not play well together.

  • Best way to clean screen?

    Every now and then my screen gets slighty dirty. What is the best way to clean the screen? Recommended products??

    My MacBook came with a beautifully packaged microfiber cleaning cloth in the same box with the user guide and install discs. I don't plan on using it, but you can find similar cleaning cloths at an optometrist or the eyeglass repair/contact lens care section of most discount stores (Wal-Mart, Target, etc). I personally buy eyeglass cleaning cloths at the Wal-Mart optical dept afor use on my glasses, cameras, and LCD displays.

  • Best way to clean screen glass

    Okay, so there shouldn't even be any finger smudges on the new screen, but they're there. What is best way to clean them off? One question is wet or dry? And if one way is preferable, what is best to use? Long ago it was advised not to use things like glass cleaners on computer screens, but my MacBook Pro is less than 2yrs old and although I guess it won't be hard to clean off the smudges, in the process I want to be careful not to injure the glass.
    Recommendations?

    Your display glass is ordinary glass, it's extremely hard, and it's not vulnerable to much of anything except sharp impacts. It has no delicate coating on it like the LCD screen behind it. Apple will never say so, but it's fine to use glass cleaner on it, as long as you spray it onto a cloth rather than directly onto the screen, and studiously avoid letting any drips run down it.
    The truth is, I've used various flavors of glass cleaner on all six of my Apple notebook screens for the last 17 years with no ill effects at all, and this MBP screen is the only one that's had a pane of glass in front of it.

  • What is the best way to clean a Macbook anti glare screen

    What is the best way to clean my Macbook Pro anti glare screen

    I have used WINDEX ELECTRONICS for about the past 6+ months:
    http://www.windex.com/en-US/Products/Pages/electronic-cleaner-and-wipes.aspx
    I apply it with a small damp microfiber cloth and wipe the excess off with a large microfiber cloth.  The display looks the same when it came out of the box.
    THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ORDINARY WINDEX GLASS CLEANER.
    Ciao.
