I honestly don’t find what is so controversial. On a specific surface that you need to custom order, you need to use a special cloth.

- toxik 7y agoClickbait and outrage culture is what makes this a headline.
- slantyyz 7y agoIn a twisted way, the headline is also performing a public service. I can tell you that if I bought one of these monitors, I wouldn't have read the manual, and I would have thought of the free cloth as one of those "nice little touches" that always comes with buying an Apple product. If I was buying the monitor after seeing the headline, I would probably try to find a safe dust cover to put over the monitor when not in use to help prevent avoidable mishaps from someone being a little too enthusiastic about cleaning my work area.
- slantyyz 7y agoProbably not an issue in most situations, but if you're unlucky to have these monitors in a space where custodial staff who didn't get the memo might take it upon themselves to wipe some dust off a screen, or several screens... yikes.
- balls187 7y agoRelated to my other comment--I have a nano ceramic coating on my car, and when I take it for service, I have a little sign I hang from the mirror that basically says "Don't wash vehicle without permission." Just set a screen saver that says "Don't touch me"
- slantyyz 7y agoYou're assuming anyone cleaning an office can read English, so you'd probably have to have that message in multiple languages and trust that Google Translate did a good job. Besides, who actually uses screen savers these days? Don't most people turn off their monitors or put them in energy saving mode at the end of the day?
- balls187 7y agoIt was not made as a serious suggestion. I've yet to encouter custodial staff that cleans desks. They typically empty out wastebins and attend to the bathrooms.
- thecolorblue 7y agoA nano ceramic coating on your car sounds interesting. Is there a specific reason you got it? I am assuming it is on the inside of your windshield.
- gambiting 7y agoNo, it's relatively common and applied on the outside - it just protects the paints from dirt, literally makes everything slide off for few months after application.
- jackhack 7y agowhat's the purpose of a fancy coating if it makes the surface less durable such that it now requires special techniques just to clean it? Serious question.
- slantyyz 7y agoNow that you ask that, I wonder if any other monitors targeted at high end pros have the same "special care" requirements.
- BurningFrog 7y agoThe surface is no less durable, but the coating wears out if handled.
