Use an alcohol based electronic cleaning wipe. Available at most stores.

You need something that will cut grease, since fingerprints are oil based, and as are most smudges. Pick-up a specialtly LCD screen cleaner approved by the manufacturer...and you'll find it is likely mostly Isopropyl or Methyl Alcohol. Alternatively, a citrus based cleaner can work - just be careful to remove *all* of the soap when done.
Once you have the monitor clean...use a screen protector to prevent future fingerprints and smudges on the screen directly.

Dont use water, until eventually you're careful adequate, and constructive approximately the thank you to apply it correct. in no way use petrol/gasolene or alcoholic or chemical cleansing beverages, because of the fact they might dissolve the outdoors of the reveal with chemical reaction and make it blurred to a pair quantity.First blow cool air to get rid of the airborne dirt and mud, as may well be achievable. in case you dont have a blower, then purely use your mouth to blow air. next, wipe a bite of scientific cotton ball very gently over it, so as that the airborne dirt and mud would not get scratched on the reveal. remember, in no way press the cotton ball too complicated at an identical time as eliminating the airborne dirt and mud. Then, use a delicate tissue paper that are used in wiping the spectacles.

Do not use water! You risk ruining your screen.
Pick up a cleaner that is made for LCD's. Monster Clean is the best stuff out there, and use can use it on your computer, digital camera screen, and other electronics. It's well worth the money.

Water and a soft cotton cloth. Don't use a paper towel because it may scratch your monitor. Avoid ethyl-alcohol and ammonia based products, because they can turn your monitor yellow after a while.
