It works [Posted on 2008-01-10]
It works pretty well, but do we REALLY need two kinds of cloth for the process? may be a bit overpriced too

Its nice that this product came with a cloth. I will buy another when the liquid runs out. It makes my screens stay dust free.

There are a lot of people who give rave reviews to Klear Screen's products. However, if you look carefully, you'll note that a very large number of them are consumers who don't have a lot of experience or knowledge about cleaning LCD screens. The product seems great, but that's because they don't have a lot to compare it to, nor do they necessarily know what to look for. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock them in any way - but if a regular guy says that a particular house looks like it's in great shape, and a professional inspector says a particular house looks like it's in great shape - they mean two very different things.
So, here's the skinny on Klear Screen products (primarily as it applies to LCD panels, not housings, iPods, or other stuff): If you have a surface that's already clean, but perhaps a bit dusty, Klear Screen will make it look shiny as new. However, if the surface is soiled in any significant way, it's not going to do a damned thing. What do I mean by soiled? Well, the primary example as it applies to LCD panels, will be fingerprints. Fingerprints are oil-based, and Klear Screen doesn't do the slightest thing about it. You can use half the bottle and rub to your heart's content, and it won't have changed in the slightest. Now, if you've got fingerprints on shiny plastic that would have come off anyway had you wiped with a tissue, then it might come off - but that's the cloth rubbing and an easy surface causing that to happen - not Klear Screen. Or if you're using a microfiber cloth that would have made a dent in an oily fingerprint even if used dry, you also might see some result - but again, it's not Klear Screen.
The only thing it seems to be good for is giving the surface a static resistant treatment, which helps reduce how much dust is attracted to it. But that's it. Now, given how much LCD panels attract dust, that's still no small thing - but it would be better off marketed as an anti-static treatment, not a cleaner.
If you want to actually *clean* your LCD panel, as opposed to removing dust and giving it an anti-static treatment, you'll be far better off using a 50/50 solution of quality isopropyl alcohol and distilled water, applied with a very soft, very clean, lint-free cloth - and buffed with a dry version of the same.
If you do choose to use Klear Screen for dusting and anti-static treatment - as a tip, don't bother with the Kleen Kloths; they're a complete waste of money. I suppose you could use them for the wetting stage, but if you use them for the buffing stage, you'll end up with smears all over your panel. Use their microfiber cloth instead. You'll still have to fight to not end up with smears or swirls, but it will be exponentially easier.
Oh, and I don't know what braindead twit wrote the instructions, but under no circumstances should you follow their advice and spray directly on your monitor! Not only will this get the chemical airborne and get it on all sorts of things you don't want it on (remember that it does not evaporate, but dries to a solid!), but more importantly, if you allow ANY fluid to drip below and behind the bezel of your monitor, you run the risk of permanently ruining your monitor. Always spray onto a cloth and use the cloth to wipe the screen wet.

This product cleans well, but that is simply it. It does not remove scratches. You can simply do the same with another cheap cleaner. It's a waste of money.
Easy to clean [Posted on 2008-06-21]
i bought this to help keep my ipod and imac clean and i've been pleasantly surprised so far. it does a good job of cleaning off loose dirt and keeping things looking new. it's pretty straight forward and easy to use. i'd recommend it.
