Well, this was going to be a post just asking how you clean your LCD monitor, but while typing it it dawned on me that I should check the Samsung website. I've also checked around online and a 50/50 solution of isopropyl (NOT ethyl) alcohol and water seems the best bet. Funnily enough, Samsung also mentions vinegar, but who wants their monitor smelling like that?

I guess I'll ask anyway: How exactly do you clean your LCD screen? Is it a shiny screen or a standard dull plastic looking one? Any advice on how you shouldn't clean it?

Here're Samsung's instructions if you're wondering:

Step 1. Unplug and Turn Off Monitor
Unplug and turn off your monitor.

Step 2. Spray Cleaner On Cloth
Spray or apply a small amount of non-abrasive cleanser on a soft, lint free cloth.

Important Information:
You should never use any harsh chemicals to clean your LCD monitor. Cleansers with the following agents are OK to use:

• Water
• Vinegar mixed with water at a concentration of no more than 10% vinegar. That's 6 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar per quart of water, 1 1/2 tablespoons per cup, or 100 ml per liter.
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Petroleum Benzene

Do Not use cleaners that contain the following agents:

• Acetone
• Ethyl Alcohol
• Ethyl Acid
• Ammonia
• Methyl Chloride
• Lysergic Acid Diethylamide
• Hydrochloric Acid
• Sandpaper
• Lead-based Paint

Do not spray or apply any liquids directly to the monitor. Always apply the solution to your cloth first, not directly on the parts you are cleaning.

Step 3. Wipe Gently
Gently wipe the surface. Use as little pressure as possible.

Important Information:
Apply as little pressure as possible when you clean.

Applying too much pressure or spraying liquids directly onto the screen or case of the LCD Monitor may cause damage to the display which will not be covered under warranty.
