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.
General Maintenance
You should avoid subjecting your LCD Screen display to extreme temperatures and humidity and avoid exposures to direct sunlight. You should also avoid physical shocks to your display. If you have a notebook, then you should avoid stacking books or other objects upon the notebook with the screen closed etc.

To clean your laptop monitor, you should use 3M Notebook Screen Cleaning Wipes, which you can get from Comp USA. I got those wipes, and it cleans my monitor nicely. You shouldn't use Windex, Alcohol, or Water. It will not clean your monitor nicely.

I clean mine by using a slightly damp cotton towell (or t-shirt). I have never had a problem with scratches by using this method.

I use eye glass cleaning wipes, but you can use a soft cloth, or even a soft kleenex, or cotton shirt. Just don't use any chemicals.

Hi Andy,
Only use a damp (with water only) cloth.
