Experience cleaning the LCD screen

LCD has proved to be quite advantageous with the first screen models using both size and weight, but in exchange you will have to give the LCD a "strict" diet mode.

The heyday of CRT monitors used large and bulky big picture lights that were gone, instead of the prevalence of LCD screens with the advantage of area and weight. Although slimmer than CRT monitors, the LCD screen instead requires a special care mode than the previous screen.

With old screens you are often not too strict in cleaning problems, if there is a hard spot to stain on the screen, you will be ready to use a little soap to scrub until clean. But if with the current thin screen you still apply a simple cleaning for the old screen, only after about 1 to 2 years is the color on your screen will become patchy, not to mention the short-circuiting Fire may occur if the water used in the cleaning process passes through the edge of the screen.

The reason that LCD monitors are quite picky in maintenance is because LCD screens are mostly made of plastic and very easy to scratch when using a rough cloth to clean, and on the surface of the LCD screen is also coated 1 The thin layer of chemicals is very susceptible to other cleaning chemicals, so you need to choose the right type of screen cleaning solution, how to mix the screen cleaning solution will be shown below.

Nowadays, some types of LCD screens have an extra layer of mirrors to protect the coating on the surface of the screen, so you can be more secure when cleaning but still should not be disregarded because this paste can also be scratched.

The main tool used to clean the screen is a fine sheet of cloth (the type used to clean the glass or you can use soft Coton fabrics) and a spray of water in the form of fog (the bottle is still cut by some workers). hair use) In addition, you need a little alcoholic alcohol to use vodka.

Preparation steps

In the type of screen cleaning solution, distilled water is the safest type for your monitor, if not, you can use water or filtered water (do not use bottled mineral water because of mineral salts in water will damage the chemical layer on the screen). In the case of hard-to-remove stains on the screen, you must use dilute alcohol (we have chosen vodka above). If you need to use alcohol, mix distilled water with alcohol at a ratio of 1: 1 and put it in a spray bottle.

Steps to proceed

The first thing before cleaning the screen is that you need to unplug all the wires of the monitor, including the signal line, to ensure safety when the computer screen is electrically leaked if the liquid could cause Fire.

Use a soft dry cloth to wipe away the dirt from the screen first, otherwise wet these small dust particles will rub against the screen surface and cause scratches. Note that just wipe the screen with a very light force to remove dust from the screen and not press it hard when wiping it like a glass screen of old monitors.

Remove the sprayed solution onto a prepared soft cloth, just spray the damp cloth slightly. Place the towel on the screen and wipe it in one direction from top to bottom gently.

If the stain is still not clean, adjust the spray bottle for a small ray of light and then put a little on the screen to clean it, also wipe the same way in one direction and from top to bottom when it is completely clean.

Wait for the screen to completely dry naturally (do not use a dryer or other drying equipment) and then plug it back and use.

For LCD screens that have been scratched

If your screen has been scratched quite badly, you can use grease Vaseline still used in cosmetic scratches and then use a soft cloth to gently wipe. Because the structure of Vaseline is very similar to the material that makes the LCD screen, the scratches that are applied to the Vaseline will appear blurry.

If you ensure the strict conditions as above with your LCD, then surely your screen will keep the new colors after years of use.
