I once had to get pen ink marks off my LCD monitor: A few years back my son
came and told me my daughter "drew on the computer", so I went to
investigate, thinking she had written on my computer case. Nope, had she
made a number of blue ballpoint pen ink marks on the screen of my 2
month-old $800 LCD monitor. Doh!
Monitor wipes and alcohol couldn't remove the ink marks. Fortunately, some
googling resulted in a solution:
- Make a thickish paste by adding some water to some baking soda.
- Use your finger to apply some of the paste to the marks and gently rub it
circularly over them.
- Use a damp cloth to clean off the residue.
- Repeat if necessary.
I was amazed by how well this worked - the pen marks went away and the
procedure didn't scratch up the screen or remove any of the monitor
coatings.
