dave091790 I haven't seen any ice bucket challenges that costed more than $10 worth of ice to do, and I think any money spent TOWARDS the challenge is money that could be put towards the donation amount itself. a helicopter for a donation video? hundreds if not thousands of dollars to operate.
One thing that can help you when cleaning your monitor is to turn it off for like 15 minutes just incase its hot, and when cleaning it, to use a flashlight so you can see all of the gunk on your screen easily.
@@shikabaneconga Do you see anyone doing this in 2023? No, because it was in fact a stupid and (not for me) amusing trend that made people feel like a good person without making an actual effort.
Water? What kind of water, tap water, mineral water, distilled water? I used to use tap water on my monitor and it leaves some streaks than can be seen on dark scenes of games. Now using a 50-50 alcohol and distilled water and it doesn't leave streaks anymore... but am I going to hurt my monitor by using alcohol solution on it?
I've been using alcohol to clean all my electronics and screens for the past 5 years and have never had an issue and I'm really picky about keeping my screen crystal clear. I think it's fine, although I don't have any research to back that up other than personal experience.
Water doesn't work for me. It's always leaving streaks. I use lots of 70% Alcohol and a micro fibre cloth. Never had any problems with the anti glare coating of my Samsung TFTs. Only the plastic bezel may get some grey shadows but as long as it doesn't completely dissolve, I don't care.
Distilled water is best but I find that a 1/3 mix of alcohol and distilled gets me good results. I also use a small spray bottle so I don't have to make up the solution to often.
Alcohol is fine. DON'T USE AMMONIA! That is what is in windex. Basically the rule is, in electronics, never use ammonia. The main reason for that is it dissolves alkali metals and becomes quite conductive. Since anti-glare screens are typically a chemical coating of magnesium fluoride, and magnesium is an alkaline metal, you can see the problem here.
I almost go Super Saiyan when someone touches my monitor. I got new monitor recently and it's perfectly clean, except for normal dust particles. I had a friend over and we were playing DOOM Eternal and he went to touch the screen and I immediately yelled "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THE SCREEN!" He about shat himself. I can't stand when people don't respect other's tech property or property in general. It should be common sense not to touch a monitor or TV screen. Sadly, people are lacking in the common sense department these days...
Same here. I get annoyed every time I see my phone full of fingerprints. So I've decided to start using atom cleanse mobile phone sanitizer which I find it safer, easier and effective. It gets the job done faster than I thought.
Thanks Linus. Got my UW monitor a week ago and it had now unwanted stuff on the screen. I thought about buying those fancy solutions especially made to clean a monitor but water works just fine.
3:25 Congrats Linus. You are now the person to dump the most amount of water on their head, in the entire Universe. I've seen people scream and carry on after dumping a bottle of water on their head and pretending it to be a 'bucket', hence 'ice bucket'. Oh wait, there's more? 3:37 Wow, you definitely win. Now that is an 'ice bucket' challenge. Congratulations Linus. :)
At 2:25, if that's a clean screen, then I might as well be the next president of the USA. Use only distilled water, and if the stain persist mix 50/50 distilled water with white vinegar.
@@flyingkitty67 i thought monitors are not same as glass , therefore requiring special microfiber cloth made specifically for screen (monitor LCD Panel) cleaning.? HELP, I need to find something that doesn't streak. THese Office depot wipes are junk!!!! HELP!
I really like the idea of Techquickie tech maintenance guides! If more could be made in the future - I'm sure myself and many others will appreciate it.
One: i would never use paper based material to clean any screen or class surface, because the fibers in the paper may couse microscopic scratches, that will get more intence over time. Two: the isopropyl alcohol is great for glass surfaces, but I would recommend using rubber gloves, because your skin can absorb the alcohol, and it is very bad for your health. But still a nice guide, always enjoy watching :)
Aaah. I just see a lot of these buckets of(what appears to be normal temp) water. It's obviously cold, because of the reactions, I just have seen so many of these that I had to ask if the people who started ALS challenge changed some of the rules, probably because people were dumping truckloads of ice on their friends and sending them to the hospital.
Get a can of compressed air, and start spraying that in to the PS4's Air vents on the back. as for laser cleaning i think there are kits that you have to use, but im not sure about that.
Thanks so much Linus!!! Now my display is even dirtier! What a great way to clean a monitor! Well at least now I have even more reasons to not to trust PC guys!!!😡😡😡
Would have laughed so hard if his screen broke at 0:48 when he hit it. "Now, glass screens are used on phones so they are harder - oh.. oh.. okay then. Guess not."
For Monitors - White Vinegar and Distilled Water. 1:3 ratio is perfect, no streaks or smearing looking at the screen at different angles 4 inches from the screen and from different light sources.
Go to your nearest grocery store, buy “Pledge Multi Surface” get a microfiber towel spray the multi surface on the microfiber then start gently cleaning the dirt of your monitor or phone. Trust me it looks better then new!
I use distilled water (for iron and alike) and sometimes isoprophyl alcohol. Very clean water and that alcohol is very good at cleaning telescope optics. Does also very well for displays.
Water is all i have ever used to clean my 5 year old antiglare Dell 3008WFP and it still looks as good as the day i got it. On shiny surfaced monitors i have cleaned with water and used car wax lol. I have tested this on old devices with no ill effects and it has been awesome for the shiny non antiglare plastic screens.
I bought a screen cleaning kit at Micro Center for like $6. Comes with a good size bottle of alcohol and ammonia free solution and a microfiber cloth. Works perfect for monitors, TV's, etc. and is extremely safe.
I had some REALLY nasty insect blood stains (summer + late night gaming sessions don't mix). Used some plain water and a micro fiber cloth which came with my phone and it cleaned perfectly. REMEMBER to clean clockwise and anti-clockwise! Thanks linus
Holy crap on a stile, who knew a coffee filter and a bit of water could clean off a good portion of gunk off the screen? 10/10, would brew my coffee with it again.
me *gets 4k curved monitor*
friend: instantly touches it.
hes ded now.
Did you burn his body to generate electricity to run that monitor
wow super cool monitor, let me touch it.
Friend- *pew pew*
You- _falls on floor_
I would be worried if he had his blood on the screen you know that wouldn’t be good
Rip in pieces
I literally don’t touch my monitor at all, it just has smudges from god knows who
Same
Them demons out to get ya club penguin acount
yeah same i think its my brother because he goes on my pc when im asleep and his screens are really dirty
it happens because when u close your laptop the fingerprint on your keyboard imprints on the screen\
hmm. maybe those things on the screen are traces of phonehub activities.
Linus is so hot they had to water cool him...
+Colton Parker he's not hot, he's Canadian
He is a Canadian. I am Canadian. BC is already water cooled by ALL OF THE RAIN IN THE WORLD
Mans not hot
I was thinking of something cool to say, then I saw this and I can't beat it.
Linus, I'm the kind of guy who can fix pretty much anything, but sometimes not without a little help from you, keep up the good work.
Probably one of the more useful Techquickies
reconrey His advice is wack!
you are wack.

That was an actual good ice bucket challenge completion. This is how all of them should have been.
Best. Ice Bucket Challenge. EVER.
really? did you not see the one with the helicopter or any of the other amazing ones that actually make this seem interesting?
dave091790 Of course I did!
This was the funniest! :D XD
dave091790 I haven't seen any ice bucket challenges that costed more than $10 worth of ice to do, and I think any money spent TOWARDS the challenge is money that could be put towards the donation amount itself. a helicopter for a donation video? hundreds if not thousands of dollars to operate.
phillip galas yeah that shoot easily cost over 5000 to do. But he probably also donated.
phillip galas On the other hand, more people will donate after seeing that video, and it creates more publicity!
Welcome to the 301 club how tough are you?

3:18 How to Clean Your Linus
as fast as possible
My linus
Thanks, Linus sooo much for doing that... My uncle has advanced stages of ALS and every penny which goes towards it helps a ton!!! Keep it up!!! :-)
Oh Fractal, how we love your sponsorship so.
i told my 8 year old brother to "clean" his phone.
he trew it inside a bottle of water
plot twist; it is waterproof
Mr Pedobear no, sadly, it wasnt.
ELEMENTAL SLAP it is a samsung galaxy young, i think... not sure what model.
+ELEMENTAL SLAP there are different sized of water bottles, removable tops etc etc.
My brother cleaned my PS3 controller on the sink (it was a long time ago)
One thing that can help you when cleaning your monitor is to turn it off for like 15 minutes just incase its hot, and when cleaning it, to use a flashlight so you can see all of the gunk on your screen easily.
Thank you, i really liked the tip on using a coffee filter alternative when cleaning a monitor.
Love the ice bucket challenge! You should continue stuff like that. For some reason, it's really fun to see Linus doing stupid things. Thanks!
it wasnt a trend made to be amusing or for stupid purposes, it is to donate towards the cause and awareness of people with ALS
@@shikabaneconga Do you see anyone doing this in 2023? No, because it was in fact a stupid and (not for me) amusing trend that made people feel like a good person without making an actual effort.
I never believed I would ever see something this enjoyable. Not to mention a much needed tip about coffee filters
I can imagine Luke coming into the room when his girlfriend is cleaning the TV, and he's just like, "get out."
That water tip was invaluable. I've been buying these kits which have this mystery "Screen Cleaner" liquid.
I thought this was going to be a joke were Linus just cleans the screen then the vid ends. I didn't realize people needed so much help on this.
Hehe, fractal, you guys are awesome. Looking in to buying my second fractal define R4 atm for a secondairy system ;)
Thanks for the video, Linus. I've always avoided cleaning my monitors because they're very high end and I wouldn't want to risk it.
this was 7 years ago what monitor were u rocking back then to be considered high end lol, hope to get a reply that'd be cool
9 years later and I still like the vid.
Man the old linus what flashbacks😂
I came to clean my tv I left uncovering a hidden gem
Use distilled water, NOT tap water, for best results. Shame on you, Linus.
My tap water is distilled so fuck you.
gzac95 Umm, then u shouldent be drinking that shit....
I would never tap dat distilled water.
Teslamonger Hei ;)
Teslamonger is your name tim by chance :D
Man, that sounded really good with the lapel mic
the coffee filter bit was actually a good bit of information.
The lighting in this video is a little different and softer than previous ones. I like it.
holy shit we in 2019 now how did i miss this one

smudges on your computer screen increase fps! The light refracts off more of the smudges causing a delay in light and an increase in fps...
James W lol
huh? can you explain more??
ThioJoe
I don't know about anyone else but i like now fractal design for doing this.
Bottled water and a cotton cloth works the best for me, amazing how well it works and doesn't require any of that circular motion .
I hate seeing finger prints all over the screen.
Same here. I get annoyed every time I see my phone full of fingerprints. So I've decided to start using atom cleanse mobile phone sanitizer which I find it safer, easier and effective. It gets the job done faster than I thought.
+Anne Abe TRIGGERED
Well if you're looking to clean your screen "as fast as possible" you'll probably want something powerful, like a fire hose!
how weird is it for a viewer to actually like a sponsor. :) Keep up the good work Fractal. :) hehe.
Thanks Linus. Got my UW monitor a week ago and it had now unwanted stuff on the screen. I thought about buying those fancy solutions especially made to clean a monitor but water works just fine.
The advertisement that showed up for me before the video was for "ScreenMoms Screen Cleaner"
How ironic. ._.
Me to XD😂
Me too
Me too.
+Land Just came back to the video since I got a notification when you said that, and guess what? I got the same ad again 😂
+Distrixel When I saw your comment I clicked on it and got the ad again.
OH GOD! LINUS DESERVED THE SECOND BUCKET SO MUCH. thanks everyone, including linus.

Oh wait, there's more? 3:37
Wow, you definitely win. Now that is an 'ice bucket' challenge.
Congratulations Linus. :)
It's been six years, still using this method till today
At 2:25, if that's a clean screen, then I might as well be the next president of the USA. Use only distilled water, and if the stain persist mix 50/50 distilled water with white vinegar.
Can't believe your the only one that has said that. His screen isn't clean at all. No wonder he had to do this all fast
@GhoST Squad yes, distilled water works!
You can get a microfiber cloth at dollar tree for a buck
Also the clothes you get with any eyeglasses should be safe.
@@flyingkitty67 i thought monitors are not same as glass , therefore requiring special microfiber cloth made specifically for screen (monitor LCD Panel) cleaning.? HELP, I need to find something that doesn't streak. THese Office depot wipes are junk!!!! HELP!

I can see why Slick dumped her
You are making me hungry

Didn't see that one XD
REALLY!
oh the games people play, i tell ya
¿ r E a L l Y ?
I got an ad with this channel sponsoring a thing what a coincidence
I don't need your life story, I came here to learn how to clean my screen.
Alcohol removes the oleophobic coating on smartphones
lol a quarter of the video was an intro and another quarter was an ad
Thanks man.
A lot of ways didn't work, and these did!
Thanks
my pc doesn't have smudge marks it has spit marks from me shouting at call of duty at 2:00 in the morning. lol
The mic being covered at the end sounds exactly like the call quality of a Nexus 5. Crap.
I clean the screen using underwerar :(
Nice.
Skidmarks side downs I would hope.
Ah yes! The classic old rachitic Linus tips
I loved Slicks expression when he was throwing the bucket. He would be a great video game character :p
My screens have micro splashes from food I ate through the years. Don't think it's that uncommon.
🤢
NOT REGULAR WATER! ONLY DISTILLED!

minerals and other shit that can damage screen.
I used distilled water and the cloth that came with my glasses. It worked GREAT! Thanks!!!

But still a nice guide, always enjoy watching :)

Why is there never any ice in the buckets now? Were people being idiots and dumping 90% ice 10% water on others?
Our ice mostly melted while we were setting up. It was damn cold tho

"dislike it if you disliked it" surely such a thing is totally impossible Linus.
Thanks for the video, I've been wondering how to clean my monitor for months. Plain old water, yay!
I need to know how to properly maintain my PS4.
Get a can of compressed air, and start spraying that in to the PS4's Air vents on the back. as for laser cleaning i think there are kits that you have to use, but im not sure about that.
Sell the PS4, and invest in a PC.

If your fibre cloth is damp in the slightest it will become a streak making machine. Figured this out the hard way.
The problem here is you were an idiot...
Those coffee filters look like cupcake holders.
I lost it in the " Can't Touch This " reference LMAO
i just cleaned my screen with windex ;D
