I recently picked up a Dell 2405 FPW. Since the LCD cost a decent amount of money, I'm trying to everything I can to pamper the living daylights out of it so that it will last forever in mint condition.
So far I have taken the following measures to preserve it's condition:
1. Screen Saver kicks on after 4 minutes of idle time (to prevent dead pixels)
2. If PC is idle for 30 minutes, LCD goes into power saving mode
3. I turn off the LCD before I go to sleep (or when I know I'm not using for PC for extended period of time)
4. When I turn off LCD at night, I put static free foam cover sheet over the monitor (this is probably unnecessary).
My questions:
In regards to LCDs, specifically the Dell 2405, I have the following questions:
1. Are the measures I'm taking above going to actually help preserve the quality of the monitor?
2. What additional measures can I take to help keep the monitor in mint condition?
3. How do I clean it?
