Where I work, there is a lot of people touching the LCD monitors that we use. Some are smart and use their fingers, while others, are not so smart and insist on using things like pens or markers to touch the screen. I know, it’s tough to watch. Most of the time the screen will not mark up, but there is always an instance that creates a pen, or marker, line on the screen itself.
If you have the same thing, you might be wondering how to remove the mark from your LCD monitor.
How To Remove Pen, or marker, From Your LCD Monitor
I noticed I small mark near the bottom of an LCD screen and originally thought it might be a scratch of some sort. Upon further investigation, I saw that it was in fact a short mark from a pen. When I rubbed it with my finger, it DID not come off so I was left wondering what I could use to remove it.
I searched the web today to see what other people suggested, because I wanted to see if what worked for me, was mentioned, so far, it was not. Some of the suggestions included:
- Using rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip
- Glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth
- Hand soap or dishwasher soap on damp cloth
- Hairspray and cloth
It seems that all of those suggestions worked fine, but none of them mentioned the tip that I have for you today. I grabbed a pencil with a new eraser and GENTLY “erased” the mark on the LCD screen. Please make sure that it is a NEW eraser as to not scratch your screen with any metal part of the pencil. Also make sure not to add too much pressure to the screen in the process. It did not take that much pressure for me to eliminate the pen mark.

I tried to use a rubber on my screen but it didnt work. The only thing that worked for me was hairspray sprayed onto a soft tissue. I wiped it off gently and then used a baby wipe to remove the stickyness from the hairspray. I used this all over my screen as my daughter decided that my screen was her new canvas. Hairspray seems to be quite safe on LCD’s.
Thank you for your experience Chloe. I am not sure what type of marker you had to remove, but I am glad the hairspray worked for you. So far, the rubber eraser and hairspray are the only two things I know work for sure. Good luck!
