Most screen cleansing stuff is just for CRT's... What do you guys use around here to clean smudges and dirt off LCD's?

I got a bottle of this a year or so ago along with some micro fiber cloths for my plasma tv and lcd monitor, and I imagine the bottle will outlast both the tv and the monitor.

i heard apple suggests 50% isopropl, just buy 70% for 99cents from drug store and dillute, shove into a 99cent spray bottle and go for it. works for me:)

Dell recommends a solution of 50/50 IPA and distilled water for some of their LCD's. The ratio helps with streaking. Also remember that Isopropyl usually has a 30% content of water.

well the 70% one does. but its always marked. the 90-99% solutions are more expensive. i don't bother with distilled water, it isn't necessary if you make sure to use enough paper towel to dry it off nicely.
