| 95914 | 2002-11-04 19:28:00 | My 17in CRT monitor started developing clear spots in the what I assume is some form of coating (antiglare?) on the surface. This started happening using a monitor cleaning liquid. One spot in the middle became quite large and intrusive. I contacted a monitor repair place who advised me that the coating is put on as part of the manufacturing process. As the monitor was becoming unusable he advised me to remove all the coating with Jiff and see if it was usable without the coating. Well it is, but the screen is not very clear now. Is there a coating available that can be applied to restore it? The monitor repair place said there isn't and I should bring the monitor in and he would see if he could fit a new tube. Fine, but I just thought I would try and see if there were any people out there who have had a similar problem, and if so has anyone an easy solution? Thanks for any help David |

| 95916 | 2002-11-05 01:12:00 | I've had an E70 Viewsonic 17" CRT monitor for about 2 years. I noted the manual states "Use only a non alcohol, non ammonia based glass cleaner on the screen" I was at a loss to be sure if any commercial glass cleaners were Non alcohol & ammonia, and so I have been using warm water with a drop of detergent, sparingly on a tissue to clean the screen. It appears to be effective, and the screen is still in good condition. Does anyone have any recommendations for suitable glass cleaners for the monitor screen? |

Remembering back to my physics days, magnesium fluoride was evaporated onto the lens surfaces in a vacuum . Binocculars also have this coating . It is very important not to vigorously clean such surfaces . A dampened soft tissue or lens cleaning cloth is all that is required, breathing on the glass and then wiping with a soft tissue will do the job . Important to keep kiddies fingers off screens . Jiff would definitely not be the thing to use . |
