    Hi I have a wxga matte screen on my 17" notebook and i was wondering what I should use when trying to clean the screen of finger prints?


    would a little water with a cloth be fine for it?

    I have these Kensington Surface Guardian Lint-free (dry) wipes that do a very good job of cleaning my matte screen.

    A microfiber cloth also seems to work well for many others. And a 50/50 solution of isopropyl alcohol and water is recommended by many as well.

    A microfiber cloth works well, a little water might help but I'd try dry first. Remember not to spray directly on the screen, always onto the cloth.
