Best way to clean a flat screen monitor? - grungy

Posted: Nov 29, 2011

I try not to even touch the monitor too much because of the plasma (or whatever it is inside there) but my flat screens could really use some cleaning. What do you use to clean yours? One of ours even has a smudge of nail polish on it where one of the girls pointed at something and and her nail polish rubbed off on the monitor. Help!!!

I only use a barely slightly damp microfiber cloth - and

I do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets when washing the microfiber cloth. Also, do not push hard, just very lightly.

Otherwise, just a swiffer for dusting.

They make screen cleaners specifically for flat screen TVs and computer monitors. I'm using Monster ScreenClean, that I think I bought at Best Buys. It comes with a microfiber cloth. You spray the cleaner on the cloth, not the screen.

You can also buy screen protectors (google).

Thanks!! - grungy

Even if these things don't get the nail polish streak off, at least I know I can clean the monitors now. :-)

Nail polish? - ??

If this was dry nail polish, see if it you can pick it off. It might be stuck on there electrostatically.

If it was WET nail polish, call the manufacturer to ask if it is possible to remove it and how they would recommend doing it. You might need to find out the type of polish first. If the screen is glass, it might be possible to dissolve the polish with a bit of pure acetone polish remover on a pointed cotton swab, both available at Sally stores, but my guess is that it will make a bigger mess than just leaving it alone.

I hope this was one of your children and not an employee.

The nail polish was dry. It kind of scuffed off the nail and onto the monitor when my daughter (LOL!!! not an employee!!) was pointing at the screen to show her sister something. I have tried sort of picking at it, but it's not a glass monitor, it's a flat screen and it's that other surface. It's not a lot, just 1 streak across the center. Sort of annoying. Nice shade of pink though. ;-)

Hello all: Hope someone might be able to help me or steer me in the right direction. I just started a new job that uses Fusion RIS 5.0. When I open the program the left side of the screen has a RIS editor and the right side has all the patient demographics. I have to type in Arial 11 in the editor after I call up a template shell. After typing for several hours, my eyes get really strained. Is there a way I could make that part of my screen larger without affecting t ...

I have an XP computer that I no longer use. I have a Vista I am currently using. The XP had gotten slow, was freezing up constantly, etc. On Vista, you can wipe the hard drive clean back to its condition when it was new, but I believe you have to have the CD to do this on XP. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can start over with the XP if I don't have a CD to do it? I would like to get the computer hooked back up and have 2 computers. ...

MTSO suit tries to go to bat for us and asks if he would slow down. He won't. Makes you wonder who he is really battling here, as we are just trying to do a good job for him. I don't understand this mentality at all. We could save him a future lawsuit perhaps. Anyone know why they won't change their style? Why they would dig in their heels in this way?

Then once they have you, watch out. Nuance lies. They lie to everyone they take over, i.e., the pretty great company and pretty great pay you were making before; kiss it goodbye. They lie. I just want to warn all of you considering your options. I wish I had been warned because I had no idea it would be this bad. I would have recorded my phone conversations and saved all the E-mails if I'd known. Be smarter than I was. I have been here 1-1/2 y ...

I am having extreme difficulty with a dictation. I have read some other post, but when I ask a transcription advisor at Allied, if in fact the doctor is saying "flat", I'm told no. Anyone have any idea what is being said? The sentence is " On digital rectal exam the prostate is (flat, flas, flaccid) without firmness or nodularity." Thanks for any help on this problem. ...

New QA's and they are "redoing" everything, including report formats. We've had to correct them on a few items and yet they storm ahead and are making work miserable. Doctors I've typed for now over 10 years and the new QA person acts as though I'm new and never heard his dictation and "here's how it should be from now on." WTH? Seriously? She changes words and puts in the wrong words, not even what was ever said, and then my pay hurts because of ...

I am new to surgery transcription, and on top of it, the doctor is an ESL. I am assuming the "clean" part is correct, just can't get the second part. Sounds like "key". Thanks for any help. The skin is marked and the skin is prepped with Betadine, then 1% lidocaine plain is injected into the subcu, then a "clean key" 20-gauge needle, with double tip was utilized. ...

I'm doing an ortho consult and the patient has a history of long-standing flat feet and he uses (Alterdix?) for that. I'm thinking it has to be some kind of shoe or device. Not a medication because he says he is not taking any medication. Also, just a side note - should it be a "long-standing history of flat feet" or is it correct the way it is "history of long-standing flat feet". Thanks, ...

Noticed in the MQ MT "rewards" plan (wow I can't even type that w/o laughing), that as of Feb 1 the pay will be a flat 4 cents per line for ASR. It does say this applies to new hires only; however, it says if hired prior to Feb 1 the editing rate will be "equal to the greater of 60% of the transcription base rate." What does "equal to or greater of 60%" mean exactly? Does that just mean 60% of your regular straight transcription rate like it is now?&nbs ...

Ladies and gents, I am hoping to find an employer that will pay a flat line rate for both editing of SR and transcription. Does anyone know of anyone that is doing that? This business of being paid 2 different line rates makes it impossible to forecast earnings and is causing a huge headache for me. I am thinking a flat in the 7 cpl to 8 cpl would be something I would consider. I cannot believe I am saying that - 10 years ago I was working in a great hospital job making 12 cpl. My, my, how ...

I'm thinking it might be nice with a bigger screen to spread MS Word out bigger so the print will be bigger and easier to read. I know I could make it bigger by changing it from say 100% to 150% but I don't like to go bigger than the page width. I also might be able to leave the internet open too with a bigger monitor.
