DhampireRayne,

The best thing to clean your screen with is screen cleaner specifically designed for LCD panels (and plasma panels. I recommend using a clean microfiber cloth and gently(!) wiping the panel. You can also clean the bezel, but be gentle, as rough application of the microfiber may leave small scratches in the bezel.

If your microfiber does get dirty, I recommend washing it without fabric softener or dryer sheets, as this leaves a film on the cloth that could be left on the front of the panel - personal experience notes that it just makes it harder to clean. So a little tip from me to you on that one. Happy

I've used CleanDR, Monster, and RCA brands of cleaner.. they all seem to work the same. So as long as it's specifically for LCD panels, it should be safe.
