How to Clean LCD Monitor; "Be Careful with That Display!"

Cleaning an HDTV display should be easy right?

Learning how to clean LCD monitor without causing damage is simple enough...

...regardless, HDTV sets get ruined every day.

Simply by using the wrong techniques and liquids...

Avoid these actions and products when cleaning an LCD screen;

1. Using Solvents – for obvious reasons solvents can literally melt the plastic screen of an LCD display.

Don't use them.

2. Pressing hard or scrubbing the screen. (can cause dead pixels) This should be common sense but most LCD screens are very thin and somewhat soft.

You can easily damage them by scrubbing.

3. Cleaning the LCD screen while the unit is powered on: The heat from the LCD TV can cause fast drying which may cause streaks.

Depending on the temperature of the screen this streaking can be permanent.

4. Don’t use paper towels, toilet paper, or Kleenex to clean the screen. Other than leaving fuzzies on the screen and defeating the whole purpose some of these materials are not as soft as you would think.

Remember, they had been a tree at one point, so they can scratch the surface pretty easily.

5. Spraying liquid directly on the screen. Spraying directly on the screen can force liquid behind the frame.

Guess what is behind the frame? Electronics!

How well do liquids and electronics work together? Uhhh… Yeah!

Apply the liquid to a very soft towel or micro fiber towel and then wipe the screen off. The towel should not be dripping but should be damp to the touch.

What should You use to Clean LCD Screen Sets?

Liquid Solution: The best solution is a 50/50% mix of clean water and white vinegar.

That is equal parts water and white vinegar. This is a good cleaning solution for all of your electronics so just make a batch up in a bottle that has a cap and use it again next time you need it.

Remember to swirl it in the bottle before pouring out or spraying onto your soft towel.

Cleaning Towels: The best is a microfiber towel. But not everyone wants to buy these so you may just need to find a very soft rag that has no rough material, blemishes or marks on it.

Bath towels are generally not soft enough.

I use an old white T-shirt and cut the elastic (neck and arms) off of it. Make sure to remove the tags too as these can easily scratch things up. Also be sure that the material is 100% cotton.

Microfiber cleaning towel I know of if you want the optimal material. It also removes foreign matter very well without any liquid at all so it may be that all your set needs is a good wipe down.

Customer Testimonials:

"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.

My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA

"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.

Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.

I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.

The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.

I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.

The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.

These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)


"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99


"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45


"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254


"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244


"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...

While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182


"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30


"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.

My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26


"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.

Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142


"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!

I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
