    Jeez that gets dirty. It's softer than my old screen. How do y'all do it?

    Use the micro-fiber cloth that came with the laptop.Or use the LCD screen cleaning solutions along with the supplied cloth.

    Careful, it might scratch your screen.

    " Always use a soft cotton cloth, rather than a rag or paper towel to wipe the screen. Some people recommend special electrostatic cloths, like those used to clean eyeglasses treated with anti-glare finish, or even dryer sheets. Apply the cleaning solution to your cloth rather than directly to the screen and wipe in one direction -- from the top of the screen to the bottom." -Yahoo!

    I use a microfiber cloth (with a little water added, when necessary) for cleaning my screen --- you can pick them up in any drug store for a few bucks. Works like a charm!

    But how to clean properly. Experts suggest clean in vertical direction, from up to down. I have done that way, using damp microfiber cloth. After that, dust has gone but I can see some stain left. Any tips to clean the screen completely as it looks like brand new when open the box? :rolleyes:

    I use Monster Cable's Screenclean from Best Buy on my Sony 46XBR2 and my SZ and find its terrific. No residue, no smudging, no greasy feeling.

    The solution and a micro-fiber cleaning cloth are included in the package.

    I never use a paper product of any kind on my screens or glasses. For my TX screen I use a 3M microfiber towel specifically made for LCD screens and some alcohol free glass cleaner. If it's just dusty the cloth alone works great. If it's got gunk on it I spray the clean on the cloth and work it all over the screen, then I dry it off and work it until I don't see any more smudges. I can get it insanely clean save the tiny scars from carrying it around without a screen protector between the display and the keyboard. Dumb TX series scars itself without a protector.
