how to do it? I've got smudges on my LCD monitor that need to come out. What are the general guidelines for screen cleaning?

windex + old newspaper has always worked for me

I always heard windex would damage the screen over time due to the ammonia? Urban legend?

I too would like to find a remedy that doesn't require the purchase of a packaged lcd cleaner...

distilled water + iso-propyl alcohol + cotton cloth works pretty well.

I have eye glasses cleaner that my eye doc always gives me... plus a really soft cloth. It has always given me great results.

I just use bottled or distilled water and an old t-shirt. I wouldn't use windex.. I think I've seen pictures of very bad results when it doesn't all get cleaned up...

Spray some hydrochloric acid on it, then uses sand paper... works every time!

hydrofluoric acid and chloroform

Pussy, I just use a razor blade instead of the sandpaper.

psh... i prefer a chainsaw.

If you want to spend money, Klear Screen works good. If not, then distilled water or bottle water and a lens cleaning cloth.[/url]

Don't know if they still sell them, but a few years ago, I bought some wipes from the bookstore that work quite well. I don't even think they were 10 bucks. I don't remember the brand, but they were in a yellow container. I need to get some more of them....mine dried up.
