How to clean LCD/LED screen
When cleaning LCD screens and LED screens, you shouldn’t subject them to too much pressure when cleaning. You can easily break your monitor screen or leave it with scratches if you don’t clean it gently.
Additionally, applying too much pressure on your LCD/LED screen can result in defective pixels. Too much pressure can also cause permanent physical damage to liquid elements on your monitor screen.
Step 1: Turn off the power and remove other items close to your PC. Make sure that you don’t wet other items around the monitor as you clean the screen.
Step 2: Use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe out dust from the screen. Move the cloth in one direction to avoid leaving marks and shades.
Step 3: You can use high-pressure air to remove dust from the screen but make sure you keep a distance. That way, you will not put too much pressure on the screen.
Step 4: Use a mixture of water and white vinegar (50% / 50%) to remove stains that are difficult to remove. Dip a soft cloth in a small amount of the mixture and wipe the screen gently.
Make sure you don’t rub the edges of the screen so that water doesn’t enter the inner side of the screen.
