Beware of dirty LCD Screens!

I wonder if there is a piece of computer hardware that does not attract dust in industrial size quantities. Please note that I did not say “dust free” or anything. Well, I know it is not possible, but oh, how I’d like at least only hardware component inside or outside my computer to stay really, really clean for at least two or three days.

Just like older style CRT monitors, the LCD panels (or screens as they are sometimes called) act as dust magnets all the time, not mentioning that nasty habit most people have of leaving fingerprints all over the visual area.

Here is a good point to remember before you start cleaning up your LCD screen; it should be unplugged from the power grid. The best solution to clean an LCD panel is to use a soft cloth or a paper tissue and first remove all the accumulated dust. Then, if there are dust spots or fingerprints, use a few drops of clean water or an approved cleaning solution. Be careful with the water or cleaning solutions, as electronic components are not great friends with them. Always wipe clean the screen and do not let liquid accumulate on its margins.
