How to Clean Sceptre LCD Monitors
Sceptre LCD computer monitors, like all things, collect dust. But you can't just go scrubbing your monitor clean like you would a bathroom sink or lawnmower. LCD computer monitors are delicate and require special care when cleaning. Unless you're gentle and use the right methods, you could scratch the screen or even damage the monitor. Fortunately cleaning Sceptre LCD monitors is easy and only takes a few minutes.

Tips & Warnings
Special products are made especially for cleaning LCD monitors. Though costly, they're designed not to scratch the screen or damage the plastic.
Never use tap or mineral water to clean your screen. When they dry, they tend to leave watermarks that are unsightly and smudge up the display.
Don't touch the LCD display with your hands or fingers. This could permanently damage the screen.
Never use products containing strong cleaning agents like methyl chloride, toluene, ammonia, acetone, ethyl acid, or anything alcohol-based. These chemicals are harsh and wear away at the delicate layers that compose the screens of most electronics.
