Take Proper Care of Your Laptop Screen

The screen remains the most important part of any computer or a laptop which shows you the desired document or picture or movie you want to see. Any complication with the display might wreak the whole screen leaving it beyond a complete repair of screen.
Many a times while carrying a laptop it gets knocked by avoidable things, but it is our negligence that hardly makes us realize that we have just knocked the high priced laptop with something which eventually could add on to become a major problem. Some blows like this at the cardinal points on the screen could leave laptop repair of screen the only option which is not anyhow a cheap affair.
So what can you do to avoid this money spilling on the screen of your laptop? This article discuses some of the crucial aspects of cleansing your desktop and laptop screens.
If the screen of your laptop is an LCD (liquid crystal display) it is composed of individual transistors at every pixel (the tiny dots that make up the images on the screen). The screens of the laptops are quite expensive these days and even damage to the above stated pixels could prove fatal and leave laptop screen repair unfix able. Every pixel is a separate transistor/liquid crystal combination. If any of it is damaged you will have a permanent black spot on your screen. It may not make your screen unusable but in most of the cases laptop repair of screen remains the only option. 
But if your screen is physically damage the screen you will probably lose more than a single pixel. The screen is the single most expensive part of your laptop. Most damage to it is non-repairable. Replacing 
It can cost half the worth of your laptop, which is undoubtedly a substantial portion of the cost of the most recently purchased machines. 
To keep your screen in good shape, stay away from it - i.e. do NOT poke it with your finger - or even worse- with a pen or pencil. If you want to show something on the screen to someone else, point "from a distance" or use your mouse and cursor to point to the item of interest (incidentally, you can make your cursor much larger and/or change its shape if you find it hard to see on the screen. Go to My Computer > Control Panel > Mouse). If you do get fingerprints or dirt on your screen, you can clean it - with care and the proper cleaning solution. Remember, your laptop screen surface is thin, flexible plastic, not glass. Do NOT (repeat, do NOT) use glass cleaner. The ammonia that is a primary component of most glass cleaners will eventually yellow the screen and make it brittle. 
Your first attempt to clean a screen should be with a soft cloth (NOT paper towels) dampened with water. If a gentle wipe with this does not work, then use isotropy alcohol (rubbing alcohol) at 50% or less (most isotropy is 90-95% strength; just dilute it with an equal amount of water). You can buy commercial cleaning solutions and cleaning pads for computer screens - but make sure they specifically say "for laptop or LCD screens" - otherwise they most likely contain ammonia and/or ethanol, both of which will damage your screen. 
And, of course, always pour the cleaning solution onto the cleaning cloth - never pour or spray it directly onto the screen (where it may run off and damage electronic components). The same care tips hold true for any LCD screen that you may have - for a desktop computer or TV as well as for laptops.
