This is a repost, but I can't find my old post to bump, and I remember that no one really answered that post...

Anyway, I've got both a VP171b and a Powerbook, both with LCD screens. Both of them (especially the Powerbook) get pretty dirty- lots of dust, streaks, etc. My PB screen is a mess right now, as there was a lot of dust on it and I had to wipe it off manually yesterday to get some work done at the library. This left a ton of streaks that are visible when lots of sun shines on it and such.

Currently all I've got is a glasses cleaning cloth to clean them with, and it doesn't do that great of a job, so I was wondering what you guys recommend, both as a material to wipe it down as well as a fluid to clean it that won't damage the screen.
 
Use a soft, damp cloth and wipe it over the screen. Dry with a lint free cloth so that no water spots remain. That's what I do for my LCDs and CRTs. There are also wipes specially made for cleaning monitors that you can buy at comp stores, if you want to spend money.

Some people will recommend Windex or other such cleaners. Do not use those; they are ammonia based and that strips off the anti-glare coatings.
 
i use those hanes cotton white t shirts

use a damp one (warm water) and wipe with firm and even pressure, then i finish off with another dry shirt.

works like a charm every time
