To extend the life of your monitors and
save power, please consider turning them off! Note this
Fact from the U.S. Dept. of Energy:
"Fact:
Your computer monitor consumes significant amounts of
energy even when the screen saver is operating. In fact,
more often than not, a screen saver will not only draw
power from the monitor, but will also keep the CPU from
powering down.
Also, when cleaning monitors, please note these instructions (Source http://support.gateway.com/support/manlib/Desktops/8508550/08550c1a.htm):
"Cleaning the screen:
If your computer screen is a flat panel display, use a soft cloth and water to clean the screen. Squirt a little water on the cloth (never directly on the screen), and wipe the screen with the cloth.
Caution: A flat panel display is made of specially coated glass and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or ammonia-based window cleaners.
- OR -
If your computer screen is not a flat panel display, use a soft cloth and window cleaner to clean the monitor screen. Squirt a little cleaner on the cloth (never directly on the screen), and wipe the screen with the cloth."
