I bought this MAG 274QP QD-OLED X24 27'' monitor a week ago, I've only used the msi microfibre cloth included with the monitor and destiled water to clean it very nicely and all. Haven't touched the screen or bumped it into anything.

It's started showing these stains and smudges, and it won't be fixed cleaning with water and cloth. It's not very noticeable tbh, especially if the monitor is on, and it's only visible at a certain angle. But I've had it for a week so im a bit concerned.

Technical support told me to send it to get it checked but it will take over 2 weeks and can't really afford so long without a monitor.

I read it could be oil (but I haven't been touching it) and msi confirmed i could use 70% ethanol. Has anyone tried that? Are there single use wipes that are good for qd-oleds? I read the cloth itself could be accumulating some oil from hands and stuff so single use is the only thing i can think of.

Does this look like it's dirty or is the screen itself damaged? Should i just use 70% ethanol? Should i give it back and buy something else? maybe a woled?

Thanks!

I want to extend my desks because they have an awkward corner, so i was thinking about getting a triangular mdf plate and joining it using clamps like in the 2nd image. I can't find any tutorials on how to attach those clamps to the plate or what types of clamps they are. I made this sketch, hope it helps understand.

Thanks!
