    ^^ Freak. J/k. I'm having this problem too. The screen is a HUGE magnet for dust, it gets in the corners and the cloth cannot help. Not sure what to do.

    My brother uses compressed air on his m1330 to remove dust and it seems to clean it well.

    for cleaning the screen i use stuff for cleaning glasses, works well as the dust can be easily wiped off

    Hi,
    I've found that either using a damp, soft cloth or windex wipes will often clean your screen safely. However, if you screen has a lot of dust, it may be best to either use an LCD dusting brush or lightly spray the screen with canned air prior to cleaning. Never spray anything directly onto the screen, as the liquid could run down to the bottom of the LCD where the inverter is.

    I don't know the BEST way, but I can tell you for certain that it's a bad idea to put it into a top-loading Whirpool washing machine...even on the gentle cycle with no soap.

    Don't ask me how I know this.
