    how do you guys take care of your screen? do you use any wipes or special liquids?

    the smudge i see on the screen is beginning to annoy me and the cloth that comes with my DV6736NR is not helping.

    any advice?

    I believe it was a damp microfibre cloth using hot water that i was told. You might wanna clarify this up first and anything you use on LCD's. They are sensitive, certain chemicals could screw it up

    Chemicals are unnecessary for cleaning LCDs, and even solutions that are claimed to be meant for LCDs can damage them. As Flipfire said, a damp cloth will do.

    I first wipe with a damp washcloth, then dry with a microfiber lens cloth. Don't over-wipe with the microfiber cloth when drying; otherwise, you'll leave streaks on the screen.
