[SOLVED] Monitor Cleaning Question

[tkrst]

Hello forum,

I'd like to ask a basic question regarding monitor screen cleaning. I've got a Benq 2500Q and was wondering what can be used, in order to prevent dead pixels.

I've got a strong memory of me and my father cleaning a Samsung monitor back in the mid-2000s with some kind of a spray for monitors and seconds after I slowly and surely saw pixels dying in real time...

Thanks in advance!

The monitor should tell you what you can use to clean it. But the general guidelines are:

• Nothing with ammonia (window cleaners) or bleach
• High concentration isopropyl alcohol is fine for fingerprints and the like
• Use a microfiber cloth, avoid paper based clothes
• Don't apply a lot of pressure

I'd recommend wetting the cloth over spraying on the monitor. Also in a pinch, breathing on it and wiping it down can work.

Cleaning has nothing to do with dead pixels.

To clean the screen, simply spray a bit of 75% alcohol on q sheet of towel paper and gently wipe the screen surface.
