    I own a black macbook and I'm wondering how to correctly clean the screen. I know not to use windex or anything like that. I've read before on how to make such products to clean your screen, but I'd rather not. Any suggestions on where to buy a cheap cleaner? Thanks for any help or tips you can offer.

    I use lens cleaners. From my local Boots or other optician. Hasn't failed me yet.

    IMHO i've tried it all. Nothing and I mean nothin works better than a damp cloth with water. Leaves no streaks, contains no chemicals and the LCD screen looks great afterwards.

    In fact if you were to check your owners manual I would not be surprised if they mentioned the same thing.
