What to use to clean a Flat Screen monitor

[Midnight Mike]

My Flat screen monitor for my computer was dirty, so I went to the store to pick up some cleaning supplies,

I bought this kit for $24, did I really have to purchase this?

What's wrong with windex and bounty?

I read that it could damage the screen?

I have the same Mike - actually - bought it with my HDTV - and - to me, it's the best cleaning agent for my laptop and flat panel monitor as well - I used to find other stuff left streaks on the monitor.

I personally think that's the scam to get you to spend $24 on a tiny bottle of windex.

Phil you cannot use Windex on LCD or Plasma TV screens. Those screens are coated with a material that can be stripped using agents like Windex. As for Bounty if you want to scratch your $2000 TV use a paper towel. The Terry cloth is a must for cleaning LCD and Plasma TV's btw the chemical in this kit isn't Windex.

I have the same cleaning kit for my HDTV's but I will say working with Monster Cable (the maker of this kit) in my past life I know how much of a mark up their products have. The towel they sell in the kit can be purchased elsewhere for 3 bucks and the solution for about 5. I only bought it because I was buying the TV at the same time and it was there.

Well, maybe if you use windex & bounty on the windshield of your truck, you would be able to park better :wink: :mrgreen:

Phil you gonna let him talk smack like that? Ouch.


Seriously, there is a posibility that the solution may be a dilute form of the chemicals found in Windex.

If you want to see if Windex will work, go the the TV store and try it on their TV :wink:
