LCD Cleaner

I use the Pixel Clean wet and dry package from http://www.pixelclean.com/

I have used it on sensitive LCD screens for 3 HD TV's and my LCD Monitor. So far I have NOT tried it on the Sony PCS 505 but, in case of significant dirt, would try it. Those LCD screens have a thin plastic membrane covering electronics and could be ruined by even a finger print or any other solution.

I never use the spray on version since any loose liquid could penetrate the borders. Instead, I use the Wet and Dry Travel package available here:

Really? I didn't realize they restricted sales of the stuff by age -- the folks in the office won't let me have it because I'm juvenile, not because I'm underage.

I can understand that. Blowing compressed air through you clenched armpit would do that to some sensitive people. Did it hurt?

Nah, nothing so simple as that. I like to take a test-tube (the kind with a stopper) and put some liquid canned air in it (hold the can upside-down and the liquid stuff comes out instead of the gaseous), then stopper the thing and wait for it to burst the stopper out. Makes quite a noise, and you get pretty impressive range if you do it reasonably well.

You just gotta watch out that you don't get the liquid on yourself -- frost-bite, you know.

Personally, I find popping champagne corks more satisfying. And you get a drink afterwards.

No need. It was a tiny finger mark.

Be a lot easier to buy pre-made canned air ones. They sell them at any electronics store almost. Definitely find them at a electronics parts store.

I use a 7 hp compressor with an 80 gal tank. It will strip the keys off a keyboard in one blast.

...makes me think...once the dust is off of your keyboard or electronic device from a blast of air from a can...you will probably breath some of it in...health issues? anyone allergic to dust? being that your electronics will most likely be indoors, maybe using canned air won't alleviate the problem, just pass it off to someone else. and aren't we breathing enough crap like car tire particles etc...

I read somewhere that air quality indoors is much worse than outdoors.
Most dust is dead skin cells, most people don't own air purifiers, increase in kids with asthma. . . .

Heck, stand beside a smoker.
