Re: tft monitors and kids
 

My 3yo is a monitor`s worst nightmare. Sticky fingers, snotty fingers (it does happen) Every weekend I spend about an hour cleaning my monitor, her monitor and my tv screen. Until she learns she doesn`t have to touch it I would stick (pun) with the crt.

I have a TFT screen and a 2 year old son who loves to play on the PC, it's had everything form Jam to Crayons on the screen and all have wiped off no problem:)

well, as long as i dont get any pointy things poked in the screen then it looks as though i will be ok , cheers guys :)

Yeah, sticky fingers shouldn't be a problem. I've tried the wet wipes specifically for PC screens, but have found that I get better results with a can of spray for cleaning the lenses in glasses. I bought it at Asda, for about a third of the price of the PC wipes, and it's lasted much much longer.

I don't use the Kleenex & water combination, simply because I always have the lens cleaning stuff lying around the house for use with my glasses and I wouldn't dream of scratching my glasses with kitchen paper or loo roll!!! :eek:

Re: tft monitors and kids
 

how about a monitor wipe , i am tempted to say ipa but it might take the print off your keyboard :Yikes:

I had a keyboard that had sugary tea spilled on it.. I stuck it on the shower, and scrubbed it.. Then left it in the airing cupboard for about a week... some keys didn't work. Put it back in the cupboard, month later worked perfect. :)

I find breath moisture, and soft cotton (cotton t-shirt, boxers, socks.. :) ) works great on fingerprints. Most cleaners I've seen, even proper monitor wipes always seem to leave streaks all over.

Windolene wipes are quite good tho.. dont seem to leave streaks on the telly.

I have a big "DONT TOUCH THE BLOODY SCREEN!!!!" message blue-tacked to the top of my monitor, in the hope ppl will read it when at the pc, and take heed!! ;)
