I would think that a little Windex on a towel would work just fine.

No. Windex leaves streaks on LCD screens.

and do not use a towel. use microfiber cloth instead. if you didn't get one with your big screen, you should be able to find one at best buy, c. city, even walmart...

I use eyeglass cleaner towels from Baush and Laumb.. They work fine

How about a laptop screen?

I've tried windex and I don't like it.

Weird, I have a pair of flat panels & have never had a problem. Same goes for laptop screens.

Guys my problem is with the soft cloth that comes with the LCD, i use it a lot as the LCD gathers dust quite frequently, how do i wash the cloth, in the laundry?

How about lens cleaner for eyeglasses and a cotton towel ? I use that for a laptop.

Costco sells lens cleaner ( two small bottles, and some other stuff in a kit for about $5). They refill the bottles free when you go back.

Fingernail polish remover (naptha I think)

That's acetone, I wouldn't do that.

Guys after all the controversy I just called Dell (who made my tv) and they said to use clean safe monitor cleaner, absolutely no WINDEX they said as it turns the screen orangish/yellow after numerous cleans, and they said no water, or pretty much anything else. Monitor cleaner, actual LCD cleaner, or just a cotton cloth.

Water, vinegar and newspaper instead of a dust rag or towel. No streaks, no dusty bits. You should also clean windows and mirrors the same way.

I've had my LCD for a year now and have used the water/vinegar trick the whole time, with no problems. I wipe mine down about once a week.

My mother used to clean windows that way.

windex has ammonia in it and you do not want to clean any type of plasma or lcd screen with ammonia. way to harsh of a chemical.

What to clean your LCD tv screens with?
