Cleaning the LCD screen on a PowerBook?

[thomasp]

I've done a quick search of the MRGuides but couldn't find anything on this...

My PowerBook screen is getting pretty dirty with general yuk and fingerprints (even though I yell at people for touching my screen!). What is the best way to clean the LCD screen and remove all these marks from it? Just wiping it with a soft cloth won't do. Are there any recommended techniques and products?


Thanks for your help

You can buy LCD screen cleaner and cleaning pads from just about any stationery store. I've used that on my 3-year old PowerBook pretty much since I bought it, and find it works great.

I see you're in the UK. Rymans do a good selection if you're close to one of those.

I use iKlear on my macs. You can buy a kit from the Apple Store - think it's about £15 to £20 which sounds expensive, but it comes with a huge bottle of spray that'll last for years, a nice soft cleaning cloth and some individual screen wipes etc.

I use iKlear too.

However the manual says to use a damp cloth. Which I've tried and works well too.

Another iKlear user here. I actually just bought the kit yesterday and it came with a cloth. It is amazing, both for the aluminum and the screen on my 17" Macbook Pro. I highly recommend this product!

I use the micro-cloth that I got with my Ray-Ban sunglasses with a little bit of water.

i use paper towels and water. works like a charm. no streaks, no scratching... perfect.

I picked up a 'notebook & LCD cleaner' kit for $5 from Staples - worked flawlessly on my MacBook. Not sure if it'd work on the PowerBook since it has a matte screen.
