As for the cleaning, microfiber cloth and you preferred window-cleaner. dont spray screen, only cloth.

Window cleaner is too aggressive for displays, it can ruin any coating (usually matte/antiglare) that the display has. Don't use it OP.

 

 

A microfiber is the right choice but just get it damp with some water.

Windex, which contains ammonia, and it's the ammonia that damages the display. If there's some really stubborn shit on OP's screen, they should use rubbing alcohol, not window cleaner.

Ah gotcha, well i can understand Ammonia not being good for the plastics.

(Altho i dont think ive ever seen it in our (Dutch) window-cleaners, but i havent checked all).

Good thing to be aware of. Thanks.

Thanks I will use that method.

Do I need to use distilled water thought?
