just bought a can of monitor wipes (supposedly streak free) from best buy and now my m170 screen has streaks all over the place.

Yeah, I also use eyeglass cleaning solution. Just a light spray will do.

I use Monster ScreenClean (by Monster Cable). It’s a small bottle (200ml) of blue alcohol-free liquid that is designed for LCD. No streaking at all.

It’s quite expensive at $25 CAD a bottle, but it comes with a blue micro-fibre cloth and it’s concentrated so you don't use much. I've had the bottle for a year now and I've used maybe 15-20% of it. Highly recommend it.

Isopropyl Alcohol - $2
Distilled Water - $3
Microfibre Cloth - $1

Clean screen - priceless.

No seriously, 50/50 mix Iso - water does the trick.

I use the same. Have had it over a year also. More tham 3/4 left. The cloth is great. I may use it to clean my 61" DLP Samsung HD tv screen.

I use the Monster Screenclean it is a bit expeincive $25.00 but comes with a huge very soft static free cloth and it will last many years. I have had the bottle for about a year and barely has a dent in it. It has a silicone in it that is on LCD's when useing water, windex and household stuff like some do it takes off the Silicone. It is best to use a LCD cleaner. And you will hear different opinions as mentioned people who don't know any better use windex or household products which they should not! The LCD screen cleaner prevents static electricity when cleaning and also keeps the silicone coating on the display like it should. Monster Screenclean is well worth the 20 or 25 bucks it's the best and like I said a bottle will last forever.

Microfiber cloth. 10 dollars for the XL. I never use any type of spray to clean finger prints. I just use my breath to add some moister and then use the cloth to wipe it clean. Works great.

I don't recommend using tissues or paper products of any kind, as they are made from wood fiber and will easily leave very small scratches in your lcd screen.

Another vote for monster cable. Im asshamed to use the name, but wow the stuff even gets off the streaks caused by other wipes that my buddies use on their notebooks. I just went in with a partner and we split the cloth and bottle. odds are the can will out last the notebook as long as you dont eat and sneeze on it daily.
