We just use squeegees made for LCD's or Windex. Spray the Windex on a rag...wipe away. I've read that you shouldn't use Windex, but after a few years of doing it, still haven't seen anything negative from the practice.
If you wanna send me a SASE, I've got a bunch of squeegees from Matrox, I'll send you one. Cost you about 10.00 at CompUSA.

Depends. If a old style CPU (glass tube) use a very mild mixture of household glass cleaner or even a mild dish washing soap. AVOID anything with ammonia or other harsh chemicals. Actually, most monitor manuals give you hints what to use. For LCD or Plasma you need to be even more careful. They can be damanged just looking at them cross-eyed. Generally you NEVER use anything wet on the screen, unless you must to remove something stuck on it, then apply an even milder cleaner to some lint free cloth, not the screen directly.

I, too, have been using windex and kleenex. I try to spray as little as possible and wipe gently on my LCD monitor. I never even thought about the consequences or knew there were any. But since windex has a smidgen of ammonia, I'll be thinking of that now. I haven't seen a single thing develop yet, in the whole year and a half I've had this monitor. But who knows what may develop later on?

Obviously none of you have seen a local flick called "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" otherwise you'd know Windex will fix anything.
There is a story from the early days of TV about one viewer who used to vigorously clean the TV screen every day with some sort of abrasive polish. After many years of this daily grind, boooom!

I have a story from the early days too. Timeframe early 50's. Parents had just bought their first television set. Its delivered. Has a huge red tag on the back with big bold lettering something like "caution, remove this clamp before plugging in". Couple days later the TV "installer" arrives. My mom says, wait, don't plug it in didn't you see that tag, where you're suppose to do something before plugging it in? Madam, I do this for a living. the guy indignantly says. He proceeds to plug in set, the immediate result, a loud popping sound and a cloud of smoke. Oops!
