Are Current Monitors Scratch Resistant?

I just bought a Samsung 3D LED monitor and I'd like to know if modern monitors have a scratch resistant screen? Thanks.

Can I wipe the screen without it getting those annoying scratches? If they can make Blu-ray discs and iPhones scratch resistant, then I don't see why they can't do it for a monitor.

Why are you putting your fingers in there first?MonsieurX

Ever sneeze near a monitor?

Sometimes speckles land on the screen and I do use a cloth. That's why I'm asking if it's scratch resistant. Some plastics are so cheap that they scratch from wiping with any material.

I have a lens cloth. It's whay I use to wipe my CD's and even they get scratched from it. That's usually because dust and such will get wiped around and make fine groves in the plastic. The reason why I'm asking is so I can decide whether or not to return in for a anti-glare screen which are scratch resistant but not as clear.

I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about cleaning a screen, but I usually just wipe a screen with a microfiber cloth damp with distilled water. I'm curious to hear if there are any chemicals that you can use to clean screens with though; I have a hard time cleaning off some of the more stubborn stains with just distilled.

Lol, I always sneeze at the worst times when I'm at my computer :P

Normally I use 99% isopropyl to clean my plastics and electronics. This is my first glare screen monitor since my old CRT.

Are you made of steel wool?

First rule of new monitor club - DON'T TOUCH THE SCREEN

Prodding of the screen with your grubby little digit will result it in said digit being swiftly hit and knocked away from the screen with accompanying glare and foul language. :twisted:

I've not had to use anything more than a micro-fibre cloth or anti-static screen cloth for removing dust from the screen.

While I know IPA evaporates quickly I still wouldn't want to be spraying it or using it near a monitor. but given it is intended as an electrical contact cleaner I suppose it would be preferable to sparying other household cleaning products on the screen.

Actually I never said it was getting scratched. I just wanted to know if it's scratch resistant before I decide to wipe it with a lens cloth. Some plastics scratch easy such as DVD's and CD's. Blu-ray's use a scratch layer from TDK.

o.o No I dont think you need it. Its not a phone.

No, not even close, i scrathed my one led monitor. Absolutely no clue how.
