Default Cleaning the screen

I still haven't managed to get the LCD screen protector, and was wondering how everyone is cleaning the screen of their sony tablets. Fingerprints seem to leave more marks than I had expected.

I tried using the cloth I use to clean my sunglasses, that doesn't help much. Any recommended methods?

Using cloth that came with screen protector on my old tablet, works fine and removes fingerprints quite well. I too also need to buy a protector for my S tablet just havent gotten around to it. It might be me but S tab seems easier to get finger prints off then other tablets. Obvious thing too is to make sure your fingers are clean before using it ie not greasy or anything.

Yeah, I agree on the clean hands part.. I need to get one of those microfiber cloths..

what about those LCD cleaning sprays that they sell at computer stores? I used them once on my laptop, logically, should work for tablet.

How good is the official screen protector at keeping fingerprints under control?

Does anybody know if there is anything nasty in the hand sanitiser found in hospitals. I have tried it on a laptop screen to get permanent metallic marker off as it was the only thing that would touch it and it worked great with a little effort. I then proceeded to clean various other products with the same excellent results, fingerprints, grease and dust removed without so much as a streak. I think that it's alcohol based so presume that's why it cleans so well. As for using it on my pride and joy........ I might just persist with the old cleaning cloth that came with a gigabyte pc case.

Buy an ZAGG screenprotector. It should get rid of your fingerprints. With its amasing cloth

Hmm.... not sure about the hand sanitizer thing.... i'm guessing the LCD sprays used for laptop screens should work well here...anyone disagree?

Havent tried it but I imagine any cleaner meant for lcd screens, camera lenses etc would be fine on the tablet but yeah wouldnt use hand sanitizers....

I actually used that lcd screen cleaner from Monoprice on the Tablet S screen before applying the screen protector. Worked very well. The Zagg cleaner does a very good job as well.

I dont. Its going to have fingerprints on it 100% of the time anyways. I do however brush off dust with a fluffy microfiber towel meant for drying cars.
