7" Red LCD Cleaning Tips?

[Scott Webster]

Any preferred methods for cleaning the 7" LCD that doesn't take the coating off the screen? Would like to pass on to our valued clients.

Thanks Eric. Will now include in our kits with large 'Only Use these' warning.

I'm sure they aren't the only brand of LCD cleaner that will work if you can't get them in NZ, but they're the ones I have personally used.

It's best to blow off, then very gently brush off any dust and debris first to avoid hard particles being dragged around and scratching. And you need to be persistent with the gentle buffing with the dry cloth as it can take a while to clear the drying smears left by the wet cloth, but it does get rid of greasy fingerprints and smudges fine.

Edit: I'm also of the opinion that if it's not actually affecting visibility of the picture, I don't clean it even if it looks a bit dirty when off. Overcleaning, even gentle cleaning, will I'm sure eventually affect coatings, not to mention that the Hoodman wipes aren't exactly cheap!
