Does the coating on my monitor screen affect the picture quality. I washed the screen with windex and i'm not sure wether i damaged the coating. All the coating is is anti-static right? Nothing I should worry about for image quality? I have a NEC Multisync FE770 Flat screen monitor (CRT).

If you don't notice any difference, then there probably isn't any difference!
Regardless, when removing unsightly blemishes from your monitor, you should only use a clean, soft, lint free cloth (I like to use a slightly damp cloth). If they prove stubborn to remove, use a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner. I don't know about your version of Windex, but here in Australia I believe it contains a small amount of ammonia, which is a no-no!

Yeah, anything that has ammonia in it is a bad idea.
I use 100% isopropyl alcohol here at work, and store bought isopropyl at home. Hasn't damaged any coatings.

Oh, and by the way, i found out that the coating on computer monitors is more than just anti-static coating. It helps prevent color bleeding. So it does affect the picture quality a little. In case you all wanted to know.
