Smile Another tip...

....I use the pre-packaged, moistened wipes that are to be used for eye/sun glasses. Works great and is anti stat, too.

When I worked at an electronics store, we used Endust for electronics, it was a blue can, but I don't know where you can find it.

$20!! I clean mine with an alcohol/water mix and microfiber cloths, works great. Here's what Dell recommends:

There are many cleaning solutions sold specifically as LCD or flat panel cleaners. Alternately, you may use a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and water mixture. Micro fiber cloths such as those used to clean eyeglasses are excellent for use with LCD or flat panel screens.

Wipe the LCD or flat panel screen gently with a soft dry cloth. If any marks remain, moisten the cloth with LCD cleaner or water/alcohol mix, and then gently stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom.

Warning: Do not use any of the following chemicals or any solutions that contain them: Acetone, ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid, ammonia, or methyl chloride. If you have a different chemical or solution and are not sure whether it is suitable, do not use it. Using any of the chemicals in the previous list may cause permanent damage to the LCD or flat panel screen. Some commercial window cleaners contain ammonia and are therefore unacceptable.
