I have a Toshiba Qosmio laptop, with a 17' LCD Flat screen and Im not sure how to go about cleaning it. Should I just use windex and a paper towel like I would on my TV, or is there a special way to clean LCD monitors?????

Cleaning Your LCD Screen
The major computer outlet stores are now starting to carry LCD cleaners for Flat Panel Monitors and Notebooks that do not contain the chemicals found in some commercial glass cleaners. These cleaners will definitely do the job nicely, but you do have to purchase them. If you do not wish to purchase these factory made cleaners, then you can clean your LCD Screen in the following manner.
What You Can Use
Water.
Water with a tiny amount of soft liquid soap.
Isopropyl Alcohol.
Hexane.
Petroleum Benzine.
Commercial glass cleaners that do not contain ammonia.
What You Should Avoid
Acetone.
Ammonia.
Ethyl acid.
Ethyl Alcohol.
Methyl chloride.
Toluene.
Commercial glass cleaners containing ammonia.
How You Should Do It
You should clean your LCD Screen display by applying the cleaner to a soft, clean cloth. Then you should wipe the cloth across the display from left to right, moving from the top of the display down to the bottom of the display. If your display contains grease or some other contaminant, then you should dampen your cloth with water instead of a commercial cleaner as the cleaner may smear the contaminants across the screen.

Keep your LCD monitor clean with these steps:
Turn off the computer and display
Use water only to dampen a lint-free cloth. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen
Wipe the screen
You may also use a mild glass cleaner that contains no alcohol or ammonia, available at most office supply stores. Apple has tested a product called Klear Screen and found it does not cause harm to plastics.

No don't use windex, go to Walmart and in the computer isle they have a container of wipes just for computer screens they work great and cost only five bucks for the big container. Hope this helps!

I don't use Windex and a paper towel since I found that it can scratch. If you use Windex, use a cloth or a Swifer

Spray the cleaning chemical solution of your choice on a clean, new, moist from water sponge to avoid scratches.
