and possibly also for TVs with LCD screens?

LCD is Liquid Crystal Display - many laptops and the new flat-screen computers have this type of display, these are tips from a computer manufacturer service representative and passed on through a coworker:

1. Cleaning the LCD
CAUTION: Isopropyl Alcohol is a flammable liquid.
Never spray or pour any liquid directly on the LCD panel.
Do not clean the screen while the system is on.

Shut down the computer.
Disconnect power to the system or monitor.
Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft dry cloth.
If any marks remain, moisten the cloth with LCD cleaner, and
then gently stroke the cloth across the display in one
direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom.
NOTE: Do not use any of the following chemicals or any
solutions that contain them: Acetone, ethyl alcohol, toluene,
ethyl acid, ammonia, or methyl chloride. If you have a
different chemical or solution and are not sure whether it is
suitable, do not use it. Using any of the chemicals in the
previous list may cause permanent damage to the LCD screen.
Some commercial window cleaners contain ammonia and are
therefore unacceptable.
Be sure the LCD screen is dry before closing it or using the computer.
NOTE: There are many cleaning solutions sold specifically as
LCD cleaners. Alternately, a customer may use a 50/50
isopropyl alcohol and water mixture. Microfiber cloths such as
those used to clean eyeglasses are excellent for use with LCDs.


You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands - You shall be happy and it shall be well with you. -Psalm 128.2
