The Science of Display Maintenance
Why Solid Canvases Matter
Cleaning a display while it is showing complex imagery (desktop or video) makes it impossible to see localized oils or micro-fibers. Our White Canvas uses the full luminance of your backlight to "silhouette" dry particles, while the Black Canvas uses reflection to expose moisture streaks.
Coating Chemical Safety
High-end displays (like Apple Studio Display or Pro Gaming monitors) feature delicate Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings. Solutions containing ammonia or high-concentration alcohol can strip these layers. We recommend using a distilled water-dampened cloth only when absolutely necessary.
The Micro-Scratch Trap
Dry-wiping a dusty screen is the leading cause of permanent micro-scratches. Dust particles are often made of minerals harder than the plastic polarizer layer of your LCD. Always use a blower or a very soft brush to remove loose debris before applying any physical pressure with a cloth.
OLED Surface Sensitivity
OLED panels often use softer outer layers to maintain flexibility and thinness. When using our Screen Cleaner mode on an OLED, avoid circular "scrubbing" motions. Instead, use long, single-direction strokes to minimize heat and friction on the organic stack.
