I use a little perfume spray bottle filled with alcohol(not the drinkin kind, though that does give me ideas) and a lence cleaning cloth.
In another thread, someone mentioned a microfiber cloth. I found one at Microcenter for $4. No solution needed, just rub the screen and the fingerprints disappear. Particularly stubborn marks clean up by breathing on the spot and then rubbing.
On my Toshiba m200, it works great. The microfiber cloth was made by 3M. It's called Microfiber Electronics Cloth. It's 12.5in x 14in. Gray/white checkered cloth. It's washable and you can use it over and over. I just don't like the idea of liquids and electronics so the sprays seem like a bad idea to me. The wipes may be okay but there's concerns that it might hurt the screen or the protective layer on top of the screens. If it says it's safe for LCD screens, I'd imagine it's mild enough for our screens.
If using a spray, spray on the cloth then wipe the screen.
Motion Computing included one of those 3M Microfiber cloths with my M1400. So far I've just used that to clean the screen and it works great.
Supplied cloth myself too. What you should use on your screen depends entirely on whether it's glass or plastic, has a protector, etc.
There are some Cross pen tips elsewhere in the Accessories forum here; I think someone found a fairly cheap supplier called 'London Lugage".
I recommend the pen! It's lovely to use.
I use Bausch & Lomb lens cleaning tissues. They're individually foil wrapped pre-moistened (isopropyl alcohol)tissues. They work great for me (both my TPC and eye-glasses), I always keep a handfull in my briefcase when I'm on the road. I can get a box of 50 for around $3.00 at Walmart. I buy several boxes every trip I take to the US.
I generally use my sleeve. Seems to work well!
My screen doesn't get dirty, as it's covered by glossy laminate :). If I get a smudge, I don't notice, and if I get something else on the screen, my thumb works fine.
I mostly use my sleeve to remove fingerprints and the likes. If I am feeling particularly pedantic about it and want it spotless, I use the cloth that came with mine. Don't need to use any chemicals and it is very effective.quote:Originally posted by alienrat
