Windex or any other glass cleaner such as that sold in Lidl + a microfibre cloth. If it is just dust, I use something simmilar to one of these on all my shiny black surfaces and it is brilliant:

Those chemical glass cleaners will leave a residue that will build up over time (you'll see it as a smear in strong sunlight) so just use clean water on a good quality micro fiber cloth. Preferable to have two cloths, one damp (not wet!) and one dry to finish.

They won't if you wipe properly after applying. I have been using windex and the like for 30+ years without them ever leaving residues. I currently have to use it regularly on my laptop screen as it is glossy, not matt, and shows every fingerprint and smear. It leaves no residue if properly used.

At 2 recent Leica Demo Days near here (at diff camera stores) there was a Leica trained repair person doing free "clean & check." As soon as someone handed him a camera, he began cleaning and wiping. If someone handed him a camera with a lens, he cleaned both. On his table were several little bottles, including one with a clear blue liquid in it. That was the liquid he was using on the lenses -- using very little, I might add. "What's in that bottle?" I asked him. He looked at me, smiled, and said: "Windex." I said, "You're kidding." He said, "Nope. It's really Windex."

Have you have never seen a LCD screen removed of its top layer from improper use of "Windex" or like wise . Ugly.

Hate to say it best screen cleaner I ever used was the Monster stuff.

Yea I know allot of the time its pure gimmick (like the "Ipod" bradded one....) but I have NEVER had streaks or damage to any thing I have put it to.

Madness to use chemicals. LCD screens are a type of plastic with a protective seal, anti-glare etc. Like others said a damp microfibre.
