I'm very careful to not touch my computer screen but now I just noticed that there is this grease covering the entire screen, (it's visible if you look from the side) I don't know why or how it got like this...this is gross !! HELP MEEE...what do i do to get it off? It's an LCD screen and I'm panicking!

Sorry I didn't know where else to post this topic Can anyone help?

If its just build up and not the actual screen itself(if its a new one with something like X-black coating that would be it) otherwise you clean monitors with a barely wet soapy cloth and then dry it.

Hey warriorscot,
thanks alot for replying! It's a new laptop but I'm not sure if it has X-black coating. I'm not so sure that soap and water is safe for LCD screens though, I heard that you shouldnt use just water or something?

I use window cleaner... It does the job and no harm done.

If its new, is like a kind of slick shiny coating on the screen a bit different from a normal monitor, alot have it its like a kind of wet look screen.

I've been told that plain water is best for LCD screens. Turn it off before you start cleaning it, and dry it before you turn it back on. I've done this a few times to mine and it looks great.

You use window cleaner on an LCD computer screen?

I wouldnt use window cleaner no, i just use soapy water as it gets stubborn marks of and doesnt run as much as water makes less mess but just water works up to you.

Just dont try and remove the coating on the screen if thats what you have it sometimes looks uneven on screens which makes people think it shouldnt be there.
