Monitor Maintenance Methods
Nov 12, 2025
First, avoid collisions or friction between the monitor and hard objects. Monitors are relatively fragile and have low impact resistance. Many crystals and sensitive electronic components can be damaged by impacts. Therefore, be careful to prevent the monitor from coming into contact with objects that could easily damage it. Also, when cleaning the screen, avoid spraying cleaning agents directly onto it, as these liquids may seep into the screen and cause a short circuit, affecting its use. Instead, spray the cleaning agent onto a soft cleaning cloth and then wipe the screen to avoid this danger.
Second, if you accidentally spray cleaning agent onto the screen and the liquid gets inside, don't worry too much. If you only notice fogging on the screen surface before turning it on, gently wipe it away with a soft cloth. If moisture has entered the LCD monitor, place it in a slightly warmer place, such as under a desk lamp, to allow the moisture to evaporate gradually. However, if the screen becomes severely damp, it's best to call a professional maintenance technician for assistance. Severe moisture can damage components, causing permanent corrosion of the liquid crystal electrodes. Therefore, in addition to preventing liquids or water from entering the monitor screen, it's best to use the monitor in a dry, well-ventilated environment to avoid unnecessary problems.
Third, it's best not to use a screen saver. Why? Read on to find out. The core structure of an LCD monitor is similar to a "sandwich": two glass substrates filled with moving liquid crystal molecules. Signal voltage directly controls the switching state of the thin-film transistors, which in turn control the liquid crystal molecules. These molecules exhibit significant optical anisotropy, modulating the light emitted from the backlight to display images. A complete display screen consists of numerous pixels, each acting like a switchable transistor. In an LCD monitor displaying an image, the switching of its liquid crystal molecules is constantly active. For a monitor with a response time of 20ms, the liquid crystal molecules switch hundreds of times per second. The number of times the liquid crystal molecules switch, thus limiting their lifespan, will lead to aging after a certain period of use, affecting the viewing experience. Even when a computer is not in use, displaying a colorful, constantly moving screen saver keeps the liquid crystal molecules in a state of repeated switching, which undoubtedly shortens the monitor's lifespan.
As the display terminal of a closed-circuit monitoring system, the monitor is an indispensable component besides cameras. For a long time, monitors have been mainly used in power, energy, public security/transportation, finance, jewelry stores, hospitals, subways, train stations, airports, exhibition halls, commercial office buildings, and leisure and entertainment venues, responsible for security work. Due to technological advancements, the overall cost of closed-circuit monitoring systems has been significantly reduced. More and more small businesses now have the financial means to build their own monitoring systems to meet their security or other monitoring needs.
As the standard output of a monitoring system, a monitor is necessary to view the images sent from the front end. Monitors are also commonly referred to as commercial displays, commercial large screens, industrial displays, etc. Early monitors were available in both color and monochrome versions, primarily using CRT picture tubes, with sizes including 14, 15, 17, 19, and 21 inches. With the upgrading of product technology and changes in user needs, LCD monitors have largely become the mainstay. ViewSonic's full range of monitors comes in sizes ranging from 17 to 27 inches, including 32, 43, 48, 55, 65, 70, 84, 98, and 110 inches.
