    I have a DV4000 and the screen is filthy. Any suggestions on how to clean it? I'm assuming I should use a soft cloth and mild soap?

    BTW, I'm not so happy w/ this Brightview. It just glares so badly that it bothers me. I've gotten more used to it, but it's still annoying at times...

    TIA

    You can use any cleaning solution with a non-abrasive cloth from your local electronics store or office supply store. Some use windex. As for the glossy screen, can't help you there, cause you cant take it off.

    endust makes an electronics cleaner which works great with a soft cloth...for cloths I just use the same you would for cleaning a band instrument.

    What you want to use is a microfiber cloth and a cleaning solution - you can save money if you make it yourself, versus spending 10 dollars in a store. Here is a link on how to do that. ;)
    That's a great article, I recommend following that.
