What would you call a devistation level of spillage to your monitor?

Random thread I know.

But I remember back when I was about 15, and I got a 1280x1024 LCD monitor it was state of the art, and on the 2nd day I opened a can of coke infront of it, and it splattered on the screen... I was absolutely devastated lol
Might just be my OCD, but for a LCD/led you can never 100% get that out.

So the reason for this thread is, has anyone bought a beauty of a monitor and thought, meh its just a spot of liquid, or been over the moon in anger for messing up a nice new 4k screen etc.

Might need a poll on this one etc

Oh the major reason of the question is because iv had a few people over tonight and someone spilt a full bottle of wine over my 1080 dell monitor, so im back on my old 1680 monitor.

That's the reason why im mad and asking if anyone else feels the pain from it :) and if they can handle wiping of a few drops of liquid from there monitor.

where as I cannot, once I know there has been say a hanging streak of liquid all the way down a monitor I can see it forever.

At least you can upgrade to UHD now! I had this monitor, my first own monitor for about 3 months I guess and choked on my tea and it splattered all down my screen, powered off and wiped it off then cleaned up with a damp cloth and it was fine, I was playing the original Crysis at the time. I didn't damage it at all, no damaged pixels or backlight bleed and I also didn't damage my keyboard which took some of it as I tried to aim away from the monitor.
 
I had an exploding bottle of Dr Pepper across a monitor and keyboard once.
Switched it all off, wiped up what I could and just let everything dry out then cleaned it up again with screen wipes.

I was gutted when it happened but thankfully the monitor cleaned up fine and was undamaged. Keyboard wasn't so lucky though, F1 to F5 kept sticking in the down position quite often after that :(
 
I can't remember what i was eating at my desk, i think it might have been chinese something. Spat a gob full at my monitors because something made me laugh enough that i couldn't keep it in. Took a while but managed to make my swift as good as new :( :p
