Thats the thing with any other cloth then micro fibre cloths you always get streaks. I find a warm screen it maybe better if you clean the screen the way I do with a damp micro fiber cloth, cos the screen dries within secs and its still a streak free screen
Do it my way guys my 3yr old viewsoinc 19" lcd comes up like new, and dont use anything else then a micro fibre cloths cos if you do your lovely screen may get scratched
You will be amazed
You will be amazed.... When I first got my lcd I use to dread cleaning, cos drying it was a nightmare and I only ever use plan water so not to damage the coating on the screen. The only decent things I had at the time was kitchen polly roll, toilet roll or those yellow dusters, but apparntly the dusters scratched the screen. So that left me with kitchen polly roll or tolet rol, and the best 1 out of the 2 was the kitchen polly roll.. But god it still took sooo meny atempts to get it streak free, even then I always had 1 or 2 streaks left behind, and it took me a good 20 - 30mins, but since getting these micro fibre cloths its like 200 - 300% easier and faster to clean my beloved monitor. You just wipe it with the damp microfibre cloth untill its clean 15 - 20secs and leave it.. then once its dry in about 30secs later, buff it up with a dry microfibre cloth, job done.. AND NO DREADED STREAKS OR SMEARS
The same goes with cleaning my pc case,, it took me a good 45mins trying to get the case streak and smear free. But with the micro fibre cloth it take 20mins max to get it streak free. I want to know why are these cloths so dam good at not leaving streaks or smearing behind when cleaning stuff????
Cheers for the heads up on Micro-Fibre Speedy as for the past three years I have been whipping out my special soft black T-Shirt which I guess is almost microfibre but my clients laugh at me!
Hopefully these cloths I get from auction are pukka and will be better for the task
I don't think speedy's method will work as he described but that is why I ordered some cloths to see. As already stated I always found it best doing a quick wipe then a quick dry/buff with a soft cloth, this seems to give the best non streaking result.
If Speedy's way does indeed work as he described I will commend him but I cant see how microfibre is that different from my old black T-shirt?
P.S: Did someone mention a protective coating on an LCD? Because I notice my T-Shirt gets little shiney patches on it after buffing? I wonder if that could be a protective coating I have rubbed off?
