Pros: Cleans and removes static
Cons: Not enough moisture to clean properly
The Bottom Line: If the product had more moisture for cleaning, I could recommend them. As it stands now though, the wipes are too dry and therefore I cannot recommend.

| protoguy's Full Review: ACCO Brands Kensington 12174 Screen Guardian Micro... |
Kensington Screen Guardian premoistened antistatic cleaning wipes are intended for the cleaning of your glass computer monitors and screens. The wipes are non abrasive and contain no wax and are oil free.
The wipes are very similar to the average baby wipes, but instead of cleaning up baby’s behind, they are meant to clean up your computer monitor or television screen. These wipes are considered the correct way to clean your computer or television screen. Lint-free, static free and non abrasive, they conveniently eliminate dust and static in one easy step. They are also good for delicate glass in general.
All well and good. The issue I have with these is that there is not enough cleaning solution by far, at least in the container I purchased. Like a lot of baby wipe brands, the wipes come out of the top through a star shaped hole and and are torn off at the perforations. The problem is that when the wipes come out of the container, they are too dry. I feel like I need to really scrub to get any of the fingerprints or dust off of my screen and at the same time, this feels like I’m defeating the purpose of using a non abrasive wipe.
I don’t know if perhaps I’ve gotten an old container and the liquid has dried up or not, but they feel only slightly moist when they come out and do not seem to have nearly enough moisture to clean the monitor. While I feel like they would be good at cleaning small items, like sunglasses, there is just not enough moisture to cover something as large as a monitor. The other downside is the size of the wipes. I’m sure that if they had more moisture it would not be an issue, but it seems like the wipes are too small in addition to being too dry.
One word of caution as listed on the container; this product is not for use on antiglare, polarized or notebook computer screens or filters. I must assume that when they mention notebook screens, that this applies to any flatscreen monitor, as these are not glass.
