I use Windex. Never any problems.

Never use a cleaning agent such as Windex on your LCD. Cleaners like Windex contain ammonia, which can, over time, damage your display's panel, also never use paper towels!

A slightly damp, lint-free cloth, like the ones for with glasses, or a microfiber cloth should do the trick. Commercial cleaners are usually just 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water mixtures, you can mix that yourself and save a few of bucks. Remember never spray any liquid directly at your screen. Dampen the cloth instead.

We have a monitor at work with horrible streaks that are now permanent because a staff person cleaned their monitor with Windex on a regular basis. The streaks are very noticeable now, and make the monitor almost worthless if there is any reflection.

You know probably the best place for answers to questions like yours is to look in the manual that came with the product. Very good source for all kinds of neat stuff bout the product.

As several have replied - a microfiber cloth works well and most are the same material whether they are sold in the auto department to clean your windshield or in the electronics department to clean your screen. There are some finer weave microfiber cloths sold specifically for electronics screens and camera lenses. They sell for about three times the price of the standard microfiber towel. These are very soft and work very well.
