How Would You Go About Cleaning A Monitor Properly?

[ShadyOrb09]

Hey, I have an XL2411Z BenQ monitor and it's getting quite dirty now. I've been wanting to clean it for a while but I'm too scared of hurting it, and it was expensive so I'm trying to be super careful with it.

Anyways, how would I go about cleaning it? Do I use water, soapy water, isopropyl alcohol, etc.
Do I scrub the monitor if there is tough dirt on it, or should I softly clean it?
Also, should I use an normal face cloth, or should I use something else?

Any tips are welcome too, thanks guys.

Use a micro fiber cloth available at WalMart, auto stores, hardware stores and a small spray bottle with lens cleaner which is available at most eyeglass shops-or drugstores. Spray the cloth and wipe gently.

Okay, thank you!

Eyeglass wipes rated for LCD screens is fine for me. A $5 box lasts forever as 2 wipes can clean the dirtiest screen. Unless there is an unusual matte type barrier, these are fine and if there is something unusual, you'd see public feedback by BenQ users by now. Only use a lens rated soft cloth if you want to finish buff, never a paper tower or even a kleenax.

Where do you normally buy them? Could you link me them please?

Similar brands at any drug store. Just make sure they are rated for electronics and LCD screens. The above box of 100 is overkill, some would dry out before you could use them unless you clean other things with them. Most 30 packs are around $4.

Wow, only $10, that's a lot cheaper then I thought. I'll probably do what you said because there is no point in wasting them if they'll just dry out. I'll head to the drugstore tomorrow and look for some.

Thanks a lot for you help!
