Leah, if your IT professionals at work give you alcohol wipes for your LCD's, they are morons and deserve to have their certifications revoked. I'm an IT Systems Administrator, and would never use an alcohol wipe on LCD's, nor recommend it. For LCD's you should never use anything alcohol based. Use water or soapy water and a lint-free cloth.

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.

Sunshine,
Any product with ammonia or alcohol may damage the film on the lcd screen. Alcohol has been known to make the film dry and it may crack and become brittle. Ammonia may leave the display with a yellow-ish tent.
Don't use paper towels, either. They may etch the screen.
I use http://www.pixelclean.com to clean my LCD tv and laptop screen. It works great. The kit I bought comes with the solution, micro fiber cloth and some traveling pouches to put in my laptop bag to clean while on the go.
Good luck.

Use an alcohol wipe. Thats what our IT professionals give us at work to clean our LCD monitors.

I presented some liquid crystal exhibit exhibit wipes for mine they promote them in Dixon's and Comet the are about £9. i don't know whats particular about them non static or some thing yet they do a sturdy job. basically ensure you clean they exhibit at the same time as that's chilly or the fluid can dry slightly smeared.

Manufacturers suggest using just a soft damp cloth. They do not recommend glass cleaner on it.
