Coatings on glass are NOT the same as polycarbonate plastic, which is  
what I think the LCD screen surface is made of. More to the point,  
I've used these for quite some time on my lcd screens with no damage,  
so empirically, I know these work.

Also that advice is really weird from a chemical standpoint, because  
denatured alcohol has some much less polar chemicals in it (the  
denaturing part) and isopropyl is only slightly less polar than ethanol.
