    Hey guys just wondering how you clean your screens? It seems mine always attracts dust haha. I have the 1080 which I doubt makes any difference. Thanks in advance

    It's quite normal for screens to attract dust because of static that attracts dust like a magnet, probably even more so on the glossy screens. I buy a special type of high quality screen cleaner, that you just squirt on to the screen and wipe off with a microfibre cloth.
    All available from you local computer or techstore.
    This will also get rid of fingerprints and greasemarks which I find more annoying than dust.

    If you have a Walmart nearby, go to the glasses department and buy the small bottle of eyeglass cleaner. With the small bottle, you are supposed to get free refills for life. They have cheap microfiber cloths too.

    I wouldn't recommend spraying it directly on the screen though. Spray it on the cloth first and then clean the screen ;)

    If you want a "DIY" solution, you can create a solution of 1 part isopropyl alcohol and 1 part distilled water.
    Put it on the cloth and clean.
