Last Update date : May 24. 2025

Even if you’re careful, your Samsung monitor screen can still collect fingerprints, dust or smudges over time. Regular cleaning helps you enjoy a clear, vibrant display, whether you're working, browsing or gaming. Just be sure to follow the steps below to clean your screen safely and avoid accidental damage.

Note: While the advice in this guide is broadly applicable, it has been tailored specifically for our Canadian customers.

Caution: Because your monitor’s screen is fragile, you should avoid using certain cleaning products. Do not spray water or any kind of detergent directly onto the screen. Do not apply window cleaners, soaps, wax, or anything containing alcohol, solvents or ammonia. Using abrasive pads, paper towels or cloth towels can scratch and damage the screen.

To clean your monitor, we recommend using only a soft microfiber cleaning cloth and distilled or still water. Other types of water may contain minerals that could leave residue on the screen’s surface.

When you are ready, use these guidelines to clean your monitor:

1 Turn off the monitor and the computer, and then disconnect the power cables. Make sure the monitor has cooled down before going to the next step.
2 Using a clean microfiber cloth, gently wipe the monitor’s screen to remove dust and fingerprints. Do not press on the screen while cleaning. You can also use compressed air to remove dust from the screen, but be sure to hold the can at a safe distance and avoid spraying directly or forcefully at close range.
3 Dampen the cloth with a small amount of distilled water. For tougher stains (such as dried food), you may use slightly warm distilled water or a very mild solution made with a drop of dish soap diluted in distilled water. Be sure to remove any excess liquid from the cloth before use.

Note: Always apply the liquid solution to the cloth, never directly onto the screen.

4 Gently wipe the monitor with the dampened microfiber cloth. Do not press on the screen while cleaning.
5 When you are finished, allow the monitor to air dry completely before reconnecting the power cables.
