Flat screen monitors
also known as LCD monitors, are a little different than CRTs when
it comes to cleaning. Your standard CRT monitor has a glass screen
and be cleaned in pretty much the same way as you would any other
glass in your home or office. Flat screen monitors, however,
require a bit of special care when cleaning. Their displays are much
more sensitive and are easily scratched and damaged.
Follow the easy steps below to safely clean your flat screen monitor
in just a few minuntes.
Turn off the monitor.
If the screen is dark, it will be easier to see the areas that are
dirty or oily.
Use a dry, soft cloth and
very gently wipe the screen. A great choice would be the microfiber
type of cloth used to clean eyeglasses. See Tip #1 below for kinds
of cloths to avoid.
If the dry cloth
did not completely remove the dirt or oil, do not press harder in
an attempt to scrub it off. Pushing directly on the LCD screen can
often cause pixels to burn out. If necessary, dampen the cloth with
distilled water or with an equal ratio of distilled water to white
vinegar. See Tip #2 below for products to avoid. Many companies also
sell small spray bottles of special cleaner for flat screen monitors
but the vinegar mixture is usually just as effective. Good cleaning
kits are available at PC Series Computers and you'll be surprised
at how little they cost.
The plastic edge
that surrounds the screen can be cleaned with any multipurpose cleaner
but take care to avoid contact with the screen itself.
Don’t adjust your set – Joost
is the next generation in internet TV.
Over10 years ago, it was the onset of email. Then, the genius of Google
bowled the masses over. Today, it’s YouTube. Tomorrow, it’s going
to be Joost. The next internet phenomenon.
Joost is a fully-encrypted, IP-based, P2PTV delivery system. In layman’s
terms? Joost somewhat magically makes your PC this broadcast-quality
monitor, churning out on-demand TV. Sharp, full-screen images are
combined with complete programmes, giving you the flexibility to channel-surf
thanks to the interactivity of the Web.
Here’s
where it gets even better – the software will be free and should work
on any decent PC with a broadband connection, and the programmes will
be free, too!
Now, given the size of computer
monitors these days the options are endless. Another thing
advertised as making Joost so special, is its breakthrough peer-to-peer
(P2P) technology. Currently, almost all online video and media sits
on a bank of central servers and is downloaded from there. The more
popular a show or movie is, the longer it takes to download because
people all around the world are downloading at the same time – slowing
the whole process down. Here’s how Joost’s technology will work: everything
on your screen is made up of chunks of data initially stored on the
computers of other users. The software will draw fragments of the
programme you want from lots of different sources, then pieces them
together as you’re watching. Once a programme has been sent out by
Joost and becomes more popular, it becomes easier to download; easier
to access as it’s already sitting on other PC’s.
With channels and production houses such as Time Warner, Endemol,
MTV and Paramount on board, the content range is huge - and it hasn't
even launched to the public yet! Joost is set to be launched in the
UK at the end of the year, so we may see it in a year or so.
