What do you clean your monitor with?

Andybird123 do you mean IPA? Or is industrial alcohol spray something else? I have some IPA, water and probably a spray bottle somewhere if that would work but wanted to check what you meant first.

Otherwise I think I'll get the Antec one probably as it seems popular

Thanks!

Yes ipa, normally if you mention ipa people start asking why youd use pale ale, so i tend to say industrial alcohol

Hi all,

Just wondering what do you clean your monitor with?

I had previously used a microfibre cloth with a tiny amount of warm water on it, but in the direct sun you can see the 'streaks' this leaves on the monitor

What do you all recommend?

One of those green spontex microfibre cloths (you can get them at tescos for just over a £1 last time I looked).

My screen only ever gets dust on it, so it works nicely without any water/cleaner.

I'd imagine it would work quite well with some water if you touch your screen for some reason.
 
Might have to try the IPA/water mix on a microfibre as just warm water seems to be leaving streaks for me. Looks great until the sun shines on it then you can notice the streaks haha

Got a random screen cleaner for the laptop which has a glossy screen and that works fine. But matt screens seem to be harder to get a streak-free finish on
 
I use Spontex Thick Moppets with water as hot I can handle (guess you could use rubber gloves) and then squeeze it out.

The water should evaporate as you are wiping the screen.

Also to note I have a water softener as I live in a hard water area. using hard water might not be ideal.

I then finish off with a dry microfiber cloth.

Edit: All my screens have a matt finish an after cleaning look as good as new. :)
