Windex on Screen?

So I've been using these windex wipes on my screen daily for the past week:

Then I stumbled across an article that says using any ammonia based products, like windex can really crap out your LCD turning it cloudy. I have not noticed any clouding effects, but my question is would the edge to edge coating on the m11x protect from the ammonia? I stopped using it of course! Is it a plastic or glass coating?

Everyone on this forum says its plastic but I read a few reviews saying it is glass:

"The display has edge-to-edge glass and the bezel isn’t even that large, aside from on the bottom where the lack of height is abundantly clear."

"11.6” WXGA (1366x768) LED-backlit edge-to-edge glass glossy screen"

 

I've used the "LCD-safe" office wipes myself, but I never tried Windex yet.

 

dont use windex on lcd screen.....

 

Plastic....

Don't use windex.

 

Lightly damp paper towel, make sure to get most of the water out. Dry paper towel to dry.

 

I would not use a paper towel, it`s made of wood after all and will eventually damage your screen, buy yourself a microfibre cloth and some lcd safe cleaning solution.

 

For drying/removing dust/minor finger prints I have a square of an old undershirt I cut out. It's super soft so no scratches and it will remove most small finger prints and such without a cleaner. Then I'll come back with the moist paper towel/cleaner with cloth once a week or so to really get the grime off as it were.

 

I like 70% Alcohol, effective, not abrasive, and evaporates on it's own.

 

Don't use windex or paper towels on plastic. Ever. A microfiber moistened with water will remove any of the persistent stuff, but you need to be gentle and take your time. Follow up with a dry microfiber for the finger prints and lint.

Really, people! Windex? Shame on you.

 

I use microfiber cloths only.

 

hahah i am at a loss for words

 

It's not the screen it's a sheet of plastic (tap, tap, yea plastic) in front of the screen.
So lightly does it, microfiber ftw, like wot others say.
