Clean an LCD HDTV Scree. Baby marked with a pen?

Question

I just received a new LCD HDTV but my busy baby marked it with a pen. What can I use to remove the pen marks without damaging the LCD screen? Can I use any home products (alcohol, water, etc) or must I purchase a special product at a computer store? Thanks.

Answer 1

Why on earth does your BABY have a pen in the first place and you aren't watching it?  Children shoud NOT be given a writing instrument unless they are seated at the table with paper and supervision!  Do you realize your child could have been hurt with a pen?  Wake up Parent and DO some parenting!!

Answer 2

OK know for a real answer. If pure alcohol does not work, Take a small amount of car wax or buffing compound. This will NOT scratch the screen and will remove most types of ink.

The trick is to you a cloth made for polishing. If you use anything else you will scratch the screen. I have used this process 3 times and it works just fine. I have 3 children and it is almost impossible to keep them away from the TV.

Answer 3

Do not use any home cleaning products they will disolve the LCD screen.  I think you need to buy a special product and maybe a protective screen so your toddler wont do this again :)

Answer 4

If it's a Sharpie, you can get the marks off pretty well by scribbling over the area with a dry-erase pen and then wiping it off. I've used that method on dry-erase and Promethean boards when the wrong pen was used. Don't know about an LCD screen though.

Haha yur in it deep!!!

Answer 6

aaah omg, you terrible parent!!! your baby could have harpooned itself with that pen.  what were you thinking?  Just kidding.  Use a small amount of water and scrub with a cloth at a medium pace.  If that doesnt get it all off add a touch of vinegar and scrub lightly but with a little muscle.  All solved.
