How clean is your screen?

If you have 2 displays, then choose one. From a score out of 6 I would give myself a 3, being 1 the cleanest and 6 the messiest.

Hospital clean, cos I just bought a screen cleaning kit thingy and have got obsessive about it. It seems more important on these glossy screens as the marks show more. Movies look a _lot_ better though.

I said "hospital clean". There's never anything worse than dust on my monitor, and I don't let that build up much, either.

(And hospital computers are generally not clean, anyway...)

I would say the real question should be :

How dirty can your screen become before you clean it?

I use Radtech's OmniCleanz and works quite well with that little cloth they include.

I'm between 1 and 2. My screen is always clean... but I don't need to clean it every day, it's just placed so that it doesn't get too much dust.

I can never get my CRT smudge free, even with OmniCleanz.
