Laptop screen cleaning

What to use to clean the laptop screen surface? Can I use detergents (for
example anti-electrostatic window cleaner - it works perfectly for my CRT) ?

Thanks,
Moon.

That's possibly the *WORST* thing you can use on an LCD. I use warm water on
mine - nothing else is necessary. On the rare occasion a sticky fingerprint
has found its way there, and water won't shift it, I use water with a few
(no more than three) drops of a mild soap solution (Fairy Liquid dish
detergent works perfectly). Ordinary window cleaner (e.g. Windex, Windolene
or Mr Muscle) contains ammonia which could damage the delicate surface of
the LCD.

It shouldn't be used on newer CRTs either, as it could potentially damage
the anti-static coating.

They make some anti-static wipes that are suitable for LC
screens....

I bought a container @ walmart for about 5$ Works like a charm...

Isopropyl alcohol; some people use the non-ammonia based Windex with success.
