How To Clean OLED Monitor
In order to get more usage out of their electronic equipment, people often clean or restore them. We would like for customers to have even more time to enjoy their monitors, even though MSI provides a burn-in warranty for OLED panels that is three years long. They hope this cleaning advice for OLED screens will be useful.
The Visual Quality is Detrimental when Debris, Smudges, and Fingerprints Are Present
Particularly on high dynamic range (HDR) and true black (TBK) screens, the accumulation of dust, fingerprints, and other surface imperfections on your monitor over time can diminish the quality of your viewing experience.
How to Clean an OLED Monitor
- To keep the specific material layer on an OLED Monitor‘s panel from getting scratched, it’s necessary to use the right cleaning kit. They suggest the following:
- Not one, not two, but three premium microfibre or anti-dust towels
- 70% ethanol mixture used as a cleaning agent
- An optional ethanol wipe
The clean result of the solvent and cleaner cloth combination.
Cleaner Cloth | Solvent | Result |
| Microfiber | Ethanol (70%) | ***** |
| Microfiber | Glass Cleaner | ** |
| Microfiber | Oil Cleaner | * |
| Microfiber | Lenz wipes | * |
| Anti-dust | Ethanol (70%) | *** |
| Anti-dust | Glass Cleaner | ** |
| Anti-dust | Lenz wipes | * |
Noted: ***** is the best effect, * is normal.
If your OLED screen needs cleaning, here are the steps:
- Remove the power cord from the display. Take precautions by unplugging the power cord.
- Declutter the area by removing any outside debris. To delicately remove dust, use a dry cloth. To avoid scratches, clean in a single direction.
Use 70% ethanol to get rid of oil spots or fingerprints. Keep the solvent away from the screen when spraying it. Instead, mist it onto a towel and wipe the screen in a single direction to clean it. Stay away from paper towels because they tend to leave behind lint.
Let the screen dry entirely before proceeding. Don’t touch the screen while it dries to prevent getting more fingerprints or stains. Use a microfiber towel to remove any last traces. Afterwards, savour your spotless OLED screen!agree that a microfiber cloth works well every time.
Ongoing Upkeep
You can now clean your OLED screen properly, so you can keep it clean for longer. Cleaning your monitor once a week or once a month should be plenty.
A few extra things to remember to maintain the pristine condition of your OLED screen:
- Adjust the brightness of the screen. Screen burn-in, a condition where the screen is permanently marked with the faint outline of static pictures, can be lessened by lowering the brightness setting.
- Make pixel refresh active. To lessen the effects of screen burn-in, many OLED displays include an integrated pixel refresh function. The directions for activating it can be found in your monitor’s handbook.
- A screen protector is an investment. An additional layer of defence against dust and scratches can be provided by a high-quality, anti-glare screen protector, however it is not absolutely necessary.
- Maintain a clean monitor. You can keep the viewing quality at its best and avoid dust accumulation by making cleaning a regular part of your routine.
Note that only MSI OLED Monitor products are compatible with this lesson. Panels can be damaged by using cleansers or chemicals that have not been permitted. In addition, some warranties may be nullified due to poor cleaning; hence, it is imperative that you adhere strictly to these directions to avoid any complications.
- Removing Intractable Stains: Isopropyl Alcohol as an Extra Measure
- Applying a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution with utmost care can remove tough stains, such as oil or ink. The anti-glare coating on your OLED panel might be damaged with regular usage of alcohol, therefore this should only be done as a last resort.
- To dilute the 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, add equal amount of distilled water and whirl. Less cleaning force results, which lowers the risk of injury.
- Using a corner, dab a clean microfiber cloth with the diluted solution to lightly moisten it.
- Gently dab the affected area with the wet cloth. Overscrubbing or excessive pressure could lead to harm.
- Wipe the cleansed area immediately with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
Never once:
- Spray the alcohol solution onto the screen.
- Employ at least 70% concentrated alcohol solutions.
- Paper towels, tissues, or anything else abrasive should not be used on the screen to prevent scratches.
- A Careful Approach is Necessary to Master Grime
A little damp microfiber paper can do nicely for light dirt, fingerprints, and smudges. You handle them in this way:
- Use a little distilled water to moisten a microfiber cloth. To eliminate surplus moisture, wring the cloth dry. The material shouldn’t be sopping wet.
- Apply a light, gentle swipe across the screen in either a horizontal or vertical direction.
- Circular motions can collect dust and cause streaks, so it’s best to avoid them.
- To eliminate any lingering stains or wetness, use the dry microfiber towel to buff the screen.
Caution: Regular tap water may leave behind mineral deposits that can damage your screen. For maximum safety, use distilled water.
