Plain water and a soft cloth. Many screens have a coating on them for anti-glare, etc and if you use any type of cleaner there is a possibility of damaging the coating. So, to be on the safe side only water.

They sell screen cleaning solutions but I don't recommend them either.

Oops, I used Windex. Sounds like a bad idea.

Did you see that little video/screen saver that was going around recently, with a little pug dog who licks your screen from the other side? Very effective! :)

I use this thick blue gel stuff put out by Philips. It is in a pump bottle, and you get an anti static rag with it. Works great on all my puter screens and big LCD TV screens. A little goes a long way, don't need much. It last a long time. I think i paid 10 or 12 dollars for the bottle.
