Hey guys i'm looking at my lap top and the screen is nasty. What is the best way to wash it?? Straight water? Windex?? i don't want to do anything that is going to mess up the screen. I know a lot of you are very knowledgable with computers so i figured this was the right crowd to ask
College Tuition: $12,000
Room & Board: $5,600
Books: $500
Food Plan: $2000
Not going to college and living with your parents: Priceless
They make special wet/dry wipes for laptop screens; they're pretty cheap at Staples. You should never use windex or anything with ammonia in it on LCD/laptop screens, it can etch the screen surface and can cause the plastic to go cloudy.
I sometimes use eyeglasses cleaner in the little bump spray; and since I sometimes wear glasses I can use it for both.
Just use a vinegar and water solution. This is safe for LCD, flat screens, projection TVs, etc., and is a heck of a lot cheaper than the commercial solutions.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

What part vinegar to what part water?
I've never heard vinegar, but that probably works... although I'd imagine it would leave your PC smelling like Caesar salad
A solution of rubbing alcohol and water supposedly works great too as a cheap alternative, but I'm not sure what the ratio should be.
25% vinegar and it drys up so fast that only the initial blast is stinky. Even though it's not necessary I use it on standard glass screens as well because it doesn't streak as bad. I just got an empty spray bottle from a garden shop and make a big 'ol batch. It lasts forever.

Giddy up, I think that's your solution... I'm gonna try it out myself
