How can I take paint specks off a flatscreen monitor??

Question

OVER THE WEEKEND WE HAD PEOPLE COME IN AND PAINT OUR OFFICE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY DID NOT USE A DROP CLOTH AND MADE A HUGE MESS... THERE IS PAINT ALL OVER THE MONITORS SCREEN IN LITTLE SPECKS..... WHAT CAN I USE TO TAKE IT OFF W/O DAMAGING THE MONITOR???

Answer 1

Do not use a paint thinner, these screens are made of thin plastic and will ruin them...if its a water based paint you might be able to use a damp cloth to remove the splatter.....

You should contact their boss and demand he take action for the painters incompetence.....If they were a licensed company, they are legally responsible for damage due to stupidity.....

Answer 2

I agree. I honestly don't think you'll be able to get rid of paint on the screens. Paint thinner may remove it, but there is a good chance you'd ruin the surface of the LCD screen due to the harsh solvents in the thinner.

Contact the company and make them aware of this issue.

Answer 3

I would be cautious about using paint thinner or strong alcohol on the plastic monitor screen.
You don't have to fix this problem yourself. Just contact the paint company and tell them that their insurance company is going to have to pay to have the monitors fixed at a shop.
If they don't want to pay, then take them to small claims court.

Answer 4

soften them with a qtip & rubbing alcohol...long process but eventuall they will easily come off like that

could be the toxin in the paint damaged the screen under the specs

get the painter insurance to pay for it

Answer 5

try using a damp cloth, do not use acids on flatscreens, it might eat the surface. if the damp cloth is useless call for a refund

Answer 6

You can't, call the painting company and demand replacement!!!

Answer 7

paint or lacker thinner shouldn't hurt it.
