Probably 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.

Related 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"

  You'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?

    It 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.

  A 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.

    No, 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.

  what'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.

    Now that you ask that, I wonder if any other monitors targeted at high end pros have the same "special care" requirements.

    The surface is no less durable, but the coating wears out if handled.
