Hello.

Don’t put any liquids on your screen.
Just buy a packet of Laptop Screen cleaners from your local PC dealer.

They are covered in a special cleaning solution that will not damage or scratch your Touch Screen.

Regards.
James.

Rolandfan,

Try lint-free cloths. I got mine at Staples.
I use it on my VA7 and KR7 touch screens. They also make a screen cleaning fluid that works great with the cloths.

Hello:

I clean all the "touch screens" with a soft cloth that I previously spray with windex or a mild mix of water with little soap, just make sure it does NOT have strong chemicals like ammonia. I hope it helps you.
Of course, clean it when is power down.

That was one thing that made me NUTS with the VA7 - I HATED how filthy the screen was with fingerprints all the time. It's worse when it's turned off, but it's not so hot when it's lit either.
No more touch screens for me !

My advice would be to use microfiber cleaning cloths that are available from camera shops for cleaning lens. They are sometimes available in the electronics area of WalMart for cleaning CD's also. They are totally scratchproof and require no liquid to work. Will also work for cleaning the keys.

Rolandfan,
Don't listen to Uncle Dave. He really misses his VA-76

Lol Zuki, Uncle Dave is waiting for Roland to invent the self cleaning touch screen

The Pro, I live in South Africa...we dont have Walmart here but I'll check with the camera shops...I'll see if I can get something from the camera shops here.
