when I was a teenager a source of constant Strife between me and my
siblings was touching the what wait why' you bleep that I said
computer screen anyway fingerprints not
only reduce image Clarity but they also have the potential to be super
disgusting if we consider for a moment the average personal hygiene of an
8-year-old and even a lot of adults I know and since someone is going to have
to clean it off and that someone always ended up being me and I mean we're even
ignoring the potential for damage from impactor skin oils yeah people touching
the screen was a bulletproof way to set me off well fast forward over a decade
and even I have accepted the touchscreen
lifestyle now now most touch devices have glass fronts making damage less of
a concern but image quality degradation and assuming you don't have fancy
antimicrobial glass grossness is definitely still a factor so what's the
correct way to clean your screen we'll start with mobile devices because they
mostly use Corning Gorilla glass panels more information about those available
here for a deep clean I recommend a microfiber cloth and some 99% isopropyl
rubbing alcohol to help remove Gunk and kill unwanted microscopic nasties
another option when you're out and about is the classic pants wipe or shirt wipe
because these screens aren't fragile nor are they easily damaged when it comes to
desktop monitors TVs are really anything that wasn't designed to be constantly
touched the rules change a lot you're still going to want that trusty
microfiber cloth to do it properly because this keeps annoying paper fibers
off your device but instead of you know any cleaning solution you should use
plain old water it might take a little bit longer but water used with a
polishing motion as you make your way around the screen will get you a clean
screen without streaks not at all like Luke's TV which a former however
well-intentioned girlfriend cleaned with Windex destroying the anti-glare coating
okay Linus sounds great but I don't have these microfiber cloths as you say can I
just use Tepee sure I guess if you want
to be wiping paper Fibbers off with something else when you're done no a
better bet would be coffee filters no one wants unnecessary contaminants in
their coffee so these are a clean and fiber free alternative also they're very
inexpensive now before we get into to another sponsor segment from fractal
where I get abused free- reviewing pleasure I'd like to give a shout out to Life Hacker for featuring our videos all
the time and writing the articles that were the basis of this episode isn't it
great when everyone gets along on the Internet it's like hypothetical great
things that never happen no really it happened this time speaking of getting
along instead of having me tell you guys about high quality cases and power
supplies and PC cooling products and minimalistic Scandinavian design and all
that good stuff fractal design offered to match my $500 ALS research
contribution if I did the Ice Bucket Challenge as part of a fast as possible
video so here goes
okay oh that wasn't so bad that's no big deal oh
okay I didn't know the second bucket was coming oh was a little worse so is there
no audio can you hear me supposedly this
mic is waterproof but the point of the matter is I'm challenging lehan from
fractal designs marketing to also complete the ice bucket challenge also
uh guys uh oh thank you for watching
like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment letting me know uh things like future
episodes you'd like to see and as always don't forget to subscribe to Tech
