NXT Generation Glass Cleaner on LCDs, Monitors??

[g35]

Does anyone know if the NXT Generation Glass Cleaner would be safe on monitors and especially on LCDs?

I don't know the technically correct answer to this question and being that it's late Friday night I can't get the answer until Monday, regardless, here's what I use with a clean, soft microfiber

I also use this on my prescription glasses and we keep some by all of our DVD players for DVD rentals. Works great.

Benzene, thinner, acid/akaline detergent, alcohol detergent, detergent with abrasive power, detergent with antistatic agent would damage the anti-glare coating and LCD over time.

Thanks Mike. If you could get some technical feedback on the NXT glass cleaner or the one you listed on LCD and CRT screens, it would be great.

Thanks!

I was cleaning my computer screen today, but I ran out of the cleaning solution that came with the kit. I've search online for just LCD or CRT cleaning solution and came up with very few products from well know companies. I thought I would ask the community about this. If it does work, won't it be great to have a product that you can use to clean your car as well as your LCD, plasma TV, CRTs???

There are a lot of commercial products that are not acceptable for LCD cleaning. Without knowing exactly what is in any given cleaner I would not use it on an LCD screen.

Avoid cleaners that contain;
- Acetone
- Ethyl alcohol
- Toluene
- Ethyl acid
- Ammonia
- Methyl chloride
These cleaners will damage or yellow the LCD plastic over time.

Safe cleaners may contain;
- Water
- Isoprophyl Alcohol
- Hexane

Which brings me to my formula. This formula is safe for coated camera optics as well. It is recommended by Celestron, a telescope maker, as being safe for cleaning their delicate coated lenses and mirrors.

3 parts distilled water
1 part Isoprophyl Alcohol
2-3 drops liquid dishwashing detergent per pint of cleaner.
