How to clean my computer screen?

whats the best way to clean the LCD screen on my laptop?

Answers:
Follow these steps:

1..Turn off the computer or display. You may need to turn off the computer in order to turn off some Apple displays.
2. Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or paper with water only.
3. Wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.

Use these - old cotton handkerchiefs but don't try tissue papers, toilet rolls or even shower towels as the fabric will scratch your screen permanently

To prepare the solution for cleaning LCD monitors, you will need deionized or distilled water and vinegar or iso-propyl alcohol - Don't use tap water or mineral water as they could leave white marks on the screen because of the dissolved salts.

Dilute the vinegar or IPA with distilled water [1:1] and spray this liquid on the cloth. Never ever spray liquid directly onto the LCD screen. Moisten the cloth with this home made LCD cleaner and gently move the wet cloth in just one direction - from top to bottom.

Word of Caution: Be sure that the LCD screen is dry before closing it or using the computer. Do not use any solutions that contain Acetone, ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid, ammonia, or methyl chloride. Never touch the LCD screen with your fingers as this can cause the pixels to burn out.
I just use an anti-static cloth, dry. You can get them in dollar stores.
Just switch off your system and take a very smooth cloth wet it with water and gently clean it. This is the way I do it and it has never caused any problem to me yet.
Take a soft tissue and wipe it gently or get the special screen wipes from staples.

Hope this helps.
