Where I work, we just use Clorox wipes.
There are two things to consider:
1) The cloth should be "non-scratching" and lint-free
2) The chemical used should be "non-abrasive" and safe for the surface
Obviously if you have a CRT monitor, you can use about anything. LCD screens are much more sensitive. I've used Clorox wipes on many LCD's with no issues, but not all LCD's are the same. If you want to be as safe as you can, buy the approved wipes at your local Best Buy, CompUSA, or RadioShack.

Use a soft cloth and hot water. As hot as you can stand. Wring it out well.
Cleaners can, over time, ruin a monitor screen. Some monitors have a very thin protective film over the glass.
NEVER use any cleaners on a monitor, ESPECIALLY a laptop screen.
If you feel that you have to use something, use rubbing alcohol. After you've done that, clean the screen with a hot damp cloth.

A soft cloth would do I guess. Make it a little damp, then wipe it. After doing so, dry the screen off with dry cloth. That's what I do to mine, it works fine.
Maybe you can get some screen cleaners which I think it does it's job better.

If you are dealing with a glass monitor Windex or any glass cleaner works fine. LCD need a special non scratching cloth,. I use LCD cleaners from Tiger Direct, Wal Mart and Comp USA. Like 3 or 4 bucks for 80 or more... Swifter wet for a mop...NEVER

They sell special clothes in computer stores just for monitors, but I don't use those. They are too costly.
I buy Swiffer's refills. They are those clothes you attach to the little broom for floors. I use those clothes on the monitor and they are great. They don't leave any lint or dust behind. They attract the dust like a magnet, and you don't have to use pressure. Plus you can use them over and over again.
There are other brands like Swiffer and I'm sure they would all work as well.

Use heat water on a lint loose cloth. Make the cloth somewhat damp then wipe. After, use a dry lint loose cloth to clean the dampness. do no longer use any alcohol or suggestions except your show screen documentation enables its use - it may break the pollish.

Spit and your underwear. That's what I use. Now you know where all of your underwear has been disappearing to, too!
