grabbed a 100% cotton tshirt and some glass cleaner...worked great, no scratches on the screen, and no streaks

thought this might help some people, I recall alot of debating on the proper way to clean an LCD

I use the cloth that came with my glasses
works great.

Oakley pouches work well as well.

From what I remember, you aren't supposed to use glass cleaner as it can soak into the plastic and mess up the screen. Dunno for sure though...

sprayed the cleaner on the shirt, so that it wouldnt run down...just like cleaning your tv, dont over do it with the liquids

Yeah, I think it eventually tints the screen yellow because of it soaking in.

Yup, you have to be careful with that stuff. I've heard it can take the antiglare coating off the screen.
