How do I clean a monitor?

[Scout]

Every modern monitor has a coating on the screen!
This coating is realy sensitive. If you touch it it leaves a fingerprint, and generaly it gets a real mess if something touches it.
How can we clean the screen so as not to ruin the coating and not to leave a mark on the screen?

Someone told me about water!. Somebody else about liquids that clean lenses from cameras...

Does anybody know a REAL PROF. way to clean the screen without destroying the coating?

Sorry about my English but i didnt know how to describe all those terms!

Thankz in advance!

I just spray a bit of windex on a microfiber cloth and clean mine with that. Works well and the coating is still intact.

Well.... a... what exactly is WINDEX?
Could you give an other name for it, an example, something similar?

Is it the substance that we use to spray windows and has a strange smell?

Dude you are freaking out! :scared:

goto GROCCERY STORE
buy SPRAY-ON WINDOW CLEANER
buy PAPER TOWELS

Spray on window cleaner wipe off with paper towels!

Seriously I'm not trying to be an ass but you need to chill :cool:
What kind off monitor did you just buy that you are worrying about this? I just made a huge upgrade in monitors from my old Sony 200ES, 17 inches of bubblyness. Can't say it was a bad monitor though, hell it survived 6 years of abuse.

Just joking! To protect that ani-reflective coating of the monitor, use _nothing_(!) but a soft _microfibre-cloth_ and _water_!! No anti-static spray or anything. No windex,no mrclean or soap or anything else!!
