I bought a cleaning product from Radio Shack years ago by Monster called "ScreenClean." Does a great job on my LCD HDTV and LCD monitors. Also works on my Daughters new laptop that has a gloss finish screen. Comes with a spray and a cleaning cloth.

IMPORTANT that anything you buy is alcohol free!

I found most of the screen cleaners are a 50/50 mix of isopropol alcohol and water. I make my own and use it with a well worn clean hanky to clean the screen. I then dry with another clean hanky. No scratches or other problems after 2 years.

Windex and a soft cloth.

My Samsung monitor came with a small piece of cloth that only needs a bit of water to clean the screen; works very well.

Be careful with the amount of water you use, as you don't want it to leak into the screen, and do not apply pressure when cleaning!

Actually, I've heard it said emphatically before NOT to use Windex on LCD displays. Can't remember where I heard that now, but I always just use a dab of water on a very soft cloth.

Windex and a paper towel.




No, seriously. That's what I use at work and at home.

I think it was about not spraying Windex on the screen directly, but I can't see why a cloth with Windex on it should be harmful for the display. After all the LCD must have at least a thin transparent protective sheet of plastic...

I'm also using the monster cleaner with a microfiber cloth. It works really well.

I use an old, clean, t-shirt.

I applied a warm cup of tea to the front of a screen yesterday. As a follow up I used a damp old t-shirt, and it worked well.

When not spilling/ throwing/ launching tea everywhere, I use my glasses cleaning cloth.

Windex is dangerous to almost anything. It is sufficiently caustic to bleach stone and strip paint. I learned this when I was paying for college in part by working custodial. During a windex fight in a locker room I discovered that it can strip paint in seconds.

Many monitors have anti-glare coatings. Windex will strip this off leaving streaks. However, as mentioned above, in small enough quantities applied carefully (sprayed on cloth not sprayed on screen), the wear will probably take a long enough time to not notice

I use a microfiber cloth lightly sprayed with Winddex. That's 1 or 2 pumps.
