Power off the monitor, and use windex wipes. Wait till it finishes drying, then turn the monitor back on. Done.

I read somewhere to just use 50% alcohol and 50% Distilled water in a squirt bottle. I've used that ever since and it is much cheaper and works as good as any store bought cleaner. Turn the power off and squirt a microfiber cloth (not the screen), wipe it down and make sure the screen is dry before turning it back on.

Get a non lint cloth like used for cleaning your glasses and just prepare distilled water (bottled) that been sitting in the fridge overnight then dip the cloth in the water and ribb firm not hard. Works for avg cleaning done so not to leave streaks or weird **** on your monitor. Also make sure your monitor is off when you do this. Also don't drench the cloth lol that's asking for trouble just dab it

I am really hoping that Windex wipes don't have ammonia in them, cause if they do....bad on you!! Ammonia is really, REALLY bad for screens expect CRT's. It will turn your screen yellow and dingy. Don't do it. Use only a mild soap and water. Better yet, any glass cleaner that states it best for tinted car windows works good to!!
