I've recently cleaned the older of our screens - which had coffee spashes

anti-static screen wipe. To all intents and purposes this is like a baby's
bottom wipe - a tissue impregnated with a cleaning agent of some sort,
sealed into a plastic sachet to stop the agent from evaporating during
storage. It did a good job!

'Windolene', a very popular glass cleaner available here in the UK. It also
removes any greasy or sticky marks and gives the screen an 'as new'
appearance.
It is essential not to use course 'kitchen towels', they are far too
abrasive IME. It's also essential to ensure whatever you use has no bits of
debris attached which could scratch the LCD, which is why I prefer tissues
over a cotton cloth.
I also use this method on my CRT screens- and my glasses!

I used a soft tissue paper that has been slightly dampened with a little bit
of water. Water will not damage the screen. I keep repeating the cleaning
with new soft tissue papers until it is clean. I then wipe it dry with a
soft tissue paper. Never press hard to put any pressure on the screen. Never
use any strong soaps or cleaners, because the anti glare coating can be
removed. Cleaners, such as Windex, soaps, ammonia, vinegar, alcohol, and
est. should never be used!

Non ammonia based eyeglass cleaner and microfiber cloth. Walmart sells both
cheap in their vision department. Spray the cleaner on the cloth and wipe
the screen very lightly and gently. You may need to lightly wipe the screen
again with a dry microfiber cloth to eliminate streaks.

I am not familiar with Windolene, or have seen it in any of the stores over
here. I am in Canada. I would not dare to put vinegar on any surface that
has an anti glare coating. Vinegar is an acid.

which I've routinely use on LCD screens for years, including laptops, and
haven't encountered any problems yet. I also use it on my glasses which have
an anti-reflection coating and it's fine.
I'd expect diluted vinegar would be OK, but I wouldn't use it as the smell
lasts for ages!

windex has additives that can cause a rainbow effect on your screen.
Avoid it, just use distilled water.

I've been using Windex on laptops screens and coated CRTs for over 10 years.
Never a problem. Spray it on sparingly and wipe it off before it gets to
the bottom edge!
I accidently got a few speckles of Pledge furniture polish on a Sony coated
CRT and that damaged the coating.

Hi!
used, I'd recommend either a simple water-dampened cloth or one with glass
cleaner for stubborn gunk.
A lint free cloth of some kind is probably best. Paper towel works, but
might scratch and most brands seem to leave a lot of "lint" on the screen.
You won't want to use anything caustic or abrasive to clean the display.
Also be sure not to let any cleaner down into the edges of the display. If
that happens the panel may come up with strange colors, blocks or lines that
won't go away.
