spinynorman Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 What's the best way to clean my Hansol TFT LCD screen? There's nothing in the manual or on the Hansol website about cleaning. I've seen these mentioned: cleaning wipes and Mr Sheen (window cleaner); paper towel and soapy water; lint-free cloths; isopropyl alcohol; anti-static cloths; proprietary stuff like Klear Screen. Unfortunately, each recommendation seems to warn of dire consequences if you use any of the others. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 i usually buy LCD screen cleaner along with lint-free wipes at my local office supplies store (Staples around here). made by kensington, haven't had any problems. i suggest against paper towels and window cleaners.

cjc Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 I have Viewsonic LCD, Sony Laptop and a Fujitsu laptop. For finger prints they recommended 70% isopropanol and a soft cloth. (if specific LCD cleaning products were not available) Do not use window cleaners with Ammonia. I have used the 70% isopropanol on my Viewsonic, my Sony and Fujitsu laptops without trouble. The screen material is very soft and easy to scratch...do not apply pressure, use a soft cloth (damp with alcohol) and wipe very gently to remove the prints. Allow to air dry. (Paper towels can scratch the plastic surface, if that's all you have, then your touch must be even gentler) Does Hansol offer a screen protector? My particular Viewsonic offered one at extra cost which I purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted August 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Thanks for the tips. I didn't realise how delicate these screens were when I bought it! Does Hansol offer a screen protector? My particular Viewsonic offered one at extra cost which I purchased. I wasn't offered one and there's no mention on their website (or anywhere else). Can you get generic ones? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 I wasn't offered one and there's no mention on their website (or anywhere else). Can you get generic ones? :) I am unaware of any such offerings for protector sheets, my Viewsonic was designed with slots in the moitor frame to accept the tabs from the protector sheet. Sorry. (I didn't know either until after I purchased and found it as an option) Also note, young children with pens, pencils or other sharp objects are difinitely incompatible with LCDs.
