How wet does the cloth have to be? Is it going to seap through the edges of the LCD?

paper towel and window cleaner - its glass afterall ...

Most recent CRT's and LCD's have an anti glare and anti static coating. Using an abrasive cloth can and will scratch even uncoated glass so that's not good to use on an LCD/CRT. Using an abrasive cleaning solution will strip the coatings off the LCD/CRT screen.

Microfiber cloth, works great for removing dust and even fingerprints from people who don't realize I don't want their greasy hands touching my monitor. :p
