 Left streaks/warps on my LCD TV. January 12, 2008
8 out of 12 found this review helpful
I completely agree with P. Smith's review; he or she is dead-on with my experience with this Monster Screen Cleaner. This product left streaks that do NOT go away on my Sony Bravia XBR3 LCD TV. I've had the product since May 2007 so if it's January 2008 and they're still not gone, then I'm assuming they're permanent. You can see them when there is a lot of light in the room and especially when you focus a lamp/flash light onto the TV. Yes, I did follow the instructions to the T according to the Monster pamphlet, so it's not a case of using the product incorrectly.
Also, the picture Amazon shows for this product must be outdated because I got a clunky and tacky looking blue bottle instead of that seemingly cool small metal gray color bottle they are displaying. It still says Screen Cleaner on the bottle so I'm assuming it's just a redesign of the bottle and Amazon hasn't updated the picture to reflect the change. My only guess why others aren't complaining is due to them receiving the smaller bottle, which may be higher quality fluid than the big blue bottle which may have lower quality fluid.
The provided baby blue microfiber cloth is horrible as well. It is too big and obnoxious in use; I have to fold it just to use it properly and even then it's too thick to really use properly. There is an annoying Monster tag on one of the sides that should probably be cut before you use this.
I absolutely would never recommend this product to anyone based on my experience. I should have known better than to use this item... Monster is notoriously overpriced but I thought their screen cleaning products (which people swear by) were different and you were getting the quality you deserve for the money you are spending. Guess not.
July 2008 UPDATE:
I have found a different screen cleaner product that has removed the streaks the Monster ScreenClean left on my Sony XBR3 LCD TV. It's called the OptiMist Prime made by ShaggyMac (yes the name sounds goofy but don't judge it by its name). It removed the Monster ScreenClean streaks that were on my TV for almost a year, and made my TV look like it did on day one. It's perfect. And it's less than $10. I also used their ShaggyMac Microfiber Swipers which are (1) Much smaller and (2) less "rugged" and no chance of leaving any particles like the Monster cloth does. Just thought I'd help others who also had the same experience with this product and save some frustration by updating my review. I've tried so many screen cleaners and the OptiMist is the only one I've found that doesn't produce streaks.

I originally tried the iKlear pads based on a recommendation. The result was streaks on all monitors that would not come off. I bought this product and it works great. No streaks. I used it successfully on my LCD tv, laptop and two desktop monitors. Highly recommended.

This product can SAFELY be used on your LCD TV screen, and that's the most important thing (scratch your screen, and your viewing pleasure is toast).
"Less is more" - spray just a very small amount on the provided soft cloth, and use long back and forth strokes on the screen (short strokes will leave smudges and drive you nuts).
Bottom line, 1)it works, and 2) you have peace of mind that you aren't doing something that will damage your window to the world.

It seems like such a little thing but a good screen cleaning makes all the difference in the world! I used this on my very grubby laptop and the screen is beautiful and resists dust and fingerprints. At the rate I am using this stuff, it will easily last a year and I have a total of 8 screens throughout the house. If you already dropped big $ for a nice LCD, why cheap out to keep it looking good?
 Good, not amazing July 4, 2007

Given, some of the other reviews here - I thought this stuff was a miracle worker. In reality, it took care of fingerprints and other obvious dirt, but it left streaks. I tried up and down motion which most people say to use and then circular motion which the box says, but I still had streaks.
I prefer the streaks to the dirt and fingerprints, though. So I'm glad I used it. I also believe it is probably safe to use on expensive screens - I don't think it caused any damage. And you can't see the streaks when the TV is on.
