Hi guys I bought my MPG 321URX QD-OLED monitor on the 7th and it's been great but today I notced some smudge marks etc on the screen and I've tried using a cloth with cold water to clean it and a dry cloth to dry the screen and noticed on the top right hand corner there's smudges and streaks and it won't come off and I'm worried some of the coating on the screen has come off or I've screched it. I've bought some iO clean Screen Cleaner Spray which should be here in a couple of days to hopefully clean it off but if it doesn't I'm not sure what I can do if I've damaged it. It can be seen more on a black background or when the light shines on it.

Only use a high quality micro fibre cloth and distilled water/isopropyl alcohol on a QD-OLED.

Because I knew this ahead of time, I thankfully avoided you micro scratches.

And always be as gentle as possible with the wiping. my other method is with an earbud, with isopropyl alcohol on it, for cough stains etc, but be extra gentle.

yeah oled screens are pretty soft glass - not like mobile phone glass.

I think I slightly scratched my LG OLED, thankfully it's minute, you can barely see it close up so at distance it's fine. Not sure how you can clean a dirty screen without knackering it (flies that land and poop on them etc)

Hi guys the Screen Cleaner Spray I was waiting on came today and it works good but it looks like I have got possible micro scratches on the top right hand corner of the screen from not using a micro fibre cloth when I proceeded to clean the screen with water and a cloth yesterday. I take it there's nothing I can do about the micro scratches and its not coverd in the screen warranty or OcUK return policy, 30 day return thing?

correct, likely won't be covered, as long as you can't see it during operation should be all good hopefully.
