How do you clean a laptop screen?

Same as my Dell 20.5" widescreen LCD.
Get some "Screen Cleaner" from Office Depot.
I bought a two pack there, and each pump spray bottle is 4 oz.
I spray a few shots right onto the screen, and a few shots on a microfiber towel.
Rub it around gently, repeat, then turn the rag over and dry.
I do not push hard, I wipe it gently.
Been doing it this way with my LCD since I got it around three years ago or so.

If you want to save money that stuff is 50/50 blend of alcohol/water. That's what I use. Worked fine for last 2 years. Then soft microfiber cloth to apply/dry it.

There are some wipes that are made especially for this task...
ThatS what me, mom, and stepdad buy for ours.
Usually at Compusa or any Major computer Retail Store....

Windex is too abrasive imo. Paper towels do scratch and leave behind dust. Microfibre and 50/50 is what I use too.
Someone bought me some " screen cleaning fluid " ...Corey, are you sure it's not just distilled water? Because that's what mine was!

It could be, I have not read the ingredients on it.
Yes, paper towels and Windex are bad news.
Windex has harsh chems in it.
C/Net has some good info on cleaning LCDs too.
I believe it may have been that guy who just died recently from C/Net that had the video on their site that showed how to clean.

Windex has ammonia which can/will eventually soften and often spot the polyester screen on many LCD screens.
The 50/50 Isopropyl/water and an old t-shirt is about the cheapest - best solution.

I got this big can of wipes from Walmart that works great. Costs a few bucks, but there are PLENTY for a few laptops at the dorm...be sure to keep the top sealed with some saran wrap to keep em moist.
