I have found that a screen which spends it's life in front of a blabbering
user tends to become coated by spittle. This causes it become opaque. You
can easily prevent this by stopping your blabbering or by installing a 
windscreen wiper. However washers should not be included.

I wear a gag and this has solved the problem (and also restored my 
credibility). My screen is as clear as the day when removed from its 
packaging.
