TFT Screen cleaner - Is this on Ebay any good or just hype...

Johntea

Well when I got my Dell LCD TV it had some marks on it (Even though it was brand new). I used the edge of my shirt and a micro fibre cloth to try and remove the mark (Like a smear mark) but all I ended up doing was spreading the smear more. Not really an issue now as that TV is going back due to faulty hardware and I'd assume they would clean it all as new before trying to flog someone else it.

Anyway I also have a tiny fingerprint sized mark on my Dell LCD monitor. Now I have seen this spray plus cloth solution on Ebay

And his feedback suggests it is quite good. But would it do the same as my solution and just spread the mark? Would I be better off with self drying wipes?

Argh, I wish these things had a glass covering over the screen as standard

Cheap and good quality stuff. The wipes dry clean leaving no marks

I got my TFT wipes from Aldi about £2 similar to what studentdave links shows.

I got the screen cleaner that Johntea has seen on ebay, works ok but the spray is the size of a stick of lipstick and the cloth is pretty small as well!

Buy a bottle of glasses cleaner from your local opticians, mines called Crystal Clear from Specsavers, and use a lint free or microfibre cloth.
I find that a damp microfibre cloth usually works on its own.

I use water and kitchen roll, makes my screen static free too, so dust does not attract.

May sound like it damages it, but it cerainly doesn't...

Im glad we have a 10week old boy now I can pinch some of his babywipes.

They work a treat on a TFT Screen, "clean ones ofcourse"

I almost cried when I heard some of the above suggestions!!!!!

Try iKlear Apple polish from apple.com/uk or amazon.co.uk. Best item you can buy on the market, may look expensive (and it is) but never had a problem with it and lasts for ages.

Never use anything like kitchen paper!
