Sounds like a reaction with the screen's coating, the best I can suggest is attempting to rinse it off with water and wish you good luck. *You'll Need It*
NOT rinse...lol
Wipe with a damp (but not dripping when it's pressed) cloth.
Though, it may be too late?
thanks guys... I recently bought it used from a local who bought it new beginning of august... if he still has the receipt... do you think i'll be able to some how get a new one from the company?
Next time just use a regular microfiber cloth, which are available just about everywhere. If there's a stain, just use a slightly water damped cloth.
Like the title says.... i used windex on my LCD like a moron and now there's a yellow blob on the bottom corner. Looks like it's spreading and i believe i might of damage the LCD.
Any clue as to how to fix this? or am i S.O.L.?
Thanks.
...and the cleaning solution on any sticky stuff.
At one time I thought Windex was ammonia-free (so it didn't eat your car's paint job
when you cleaned the windows). Luckily I haven't used it on my car windows in a long time
because I just took a look at my Windex Bottle: "...with AMMONIA-D*"
A friend sent me a kind of stuffed toy with a very soft bottom that was advertised as a Monitor
Screen cleaner and it's what I always used on my Sony G420 CRT, with nary a scratch or scuff.
I've left the plastic protector sheet on this relatively new Hann-G so cleaning it hasn't yet been
an issue. I think I'll keep it that way for now
A long time ago someone else turned me on to sprayed on water and crumpled-up newspaper for
cleaning mirrors and stuff, and it works surprisingly well, no streaks or anything. But I wouldn't try it
on a monitor because the sprayed/misted-on water would pool at the bottom of the screen before I
could wipe it off.
Sorry to hear about your accidental disaster. It looks like you are going to have to pony up for either a
repair job or buying a replacement monitor. Bummer.
Monitor cleaning solution is just isopropyl alcohol and water. put a 20/80 solution of this in a spay bottle and wipe with a microfiber cloth.
That's kind of gay, I didn't know you weren't supposed to use cleaners on LCD's. I always spill pop or beer on my CRT and sometimes sneeze on it. How are you supposed to clean an LCD properly geez. I just get out the Windex bottle and all is good.
^ are you serious or joking with the cat urine one? lol
It's a lesson learned and i've moved on. I'm just hoping it doesn't spread... it blends in during movies though so i can deal with it for now. Thanks everyone!

Wow...I have to admit I'm a little baffled as to why someone would use glass cleaner on plastic
If you're referring to AR coated glass, I'm not sure if my monitor has it, but I haven't noticed any problems in that regard.
Though I am starting to get a minor screen shake, which is of course unrelated. I think it might finally be starting to give up the ghost after more than 9 years.
I want another CRT, not an LCD type, but I don't want to spend $800 on an new FW900 (if I can find one).
Even as a lubricant?

Windex has ammonia in it, which is terrible for LCD panels. I'd bet that you permanently damaged the LCD.
