I just use a slightly damp cloth. If you meant Windex though, that's not a good idea as it will wipe off any coatings on the panel.

damp lint free cloth and water. Highly filtered water if it can be.

Do not use a paper towel unless you want scratch marks all over your nice LCD. I use a high quality micro fiber cloth and plain water. You can also look into buying an LCD cleaning kit, such as those sold at BestBuy or Staples.

Microfiber towels FTW.

diluted alchohol + microfiber towel

i use Monster iClean for displays. works wonders on my viewsonic vx2025 and my car navigation display

A switchblade, doused with alcohol, lit, and moved up and down and across the screen in a serpentine fashion.

Now if you wish to clean just one liquid crystal diode then it's a whole different story.

I use paper towel and alcohol. No scratch 🙂 Guess the brand matters 😛

OT: Shouldn't it be 'an' LCD instead of 'a' LCD

Damp (distilled water if possible) lint-free cloth.

Yes, if the first part of the next word sounds like a vowel ("ell"), you use an.

ViewSonic reccomends water and clean cloth for their VX2025 LCDs. I know I got one and read the manual. I reccomend you read the manual to see what the manufacturer reccomends for your LCD. If you dont have a manual you can probably find it on the manufacturers website.

I used to use a damp paper towel, but that just didn't cut it once I got my NEC 20WMGX2 because of the glossy coating. Now I just use a microfiber cloth.
