What's the best method of cleaning an LCD screen? Actually not nessesarily the best but, the most cost effective solution in terms of both time and money?

I read somewhere your not supposed to use this, but alcohol and a cotton ball or very soft cloth is my preferred method, and it's worked well for years with no side effects on the screens. Just need enough to get the cotton ball/cloth damp. It cleans great and evaporates very quickly. I use alcohol to clean all my computer stuff, including my mouse and keyboard with a q-tip.

I actually use spray on car wax. Spray it on a rag and wipe it on. Then it'll be clean and won't smudge as easily because of the barrier between your fingers and the glass.

Computer monitor? I just use a warm, damp paper towel. Water only.

I ordered a bottle, looks good. The thing I like about it is it can be used on cd's, pda's, ipods, etc as well. The bottle will probably last 10 years. Thanks for the tip.
David, yeah, I used alcohol as well for years. Those old serial mouse's that built up the lint on the rollers was the worst, thank got for optical mice.
Caleb, specifically LCD displays. I get some gunky stuff build up over time maybe one two many sneezes or something, so the water just wouldn't cut it. I have always just used glass cleaner on CRT's/TV's (don't know of this is bad or not).

I thought that stuff might be made of alcohol but was surprised to find out it wasn't. I remember years ago when I was a DJ and CDs first started getting mainstream. The company I worked for bought this expensive stuff that was like a 5 oz bottle for $10, which didn't last all that long. I learned later it was nothing more than alcohol and water. We started buying bottles of alcohol for 50 cents and making our own after that. LOL

I use LCD screen cleaner and an anti-static fiber cloth.

A damp lint-free cloth (especially warm) works best IMO. Be careful with other products since some of them might void your warranty if damage occurs.
