windex and a paper towel works great
it won't damage it
just don't use rubbing alcohol or anything abrasive

good luck

Windex has ammonia and will turn the screen yellow. The proper way is to use microfibre cloth and a 50/50 mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol.

I just used a damp rag to wipe it down for now. I might get some LCD screen specific cleaner...

thanks

According to the Anand FAQ you should use mineral water and a lint free cloth.

Mineral water? Why not distilled water? I would think water with minerals added, would lead to build-up of residue over time.
