Default Best way to clean an LCD screen?

Are there any solutions to clean an LCD screen other than ordering a kit online? If there's any household items that clean the screen well, I would love to know. Thanks in advance.

well i guess it depends on exactly how dirty you got it

but for finger prints, smudges and dust, the cloth should work fine.

I did get a dedicated screen cleaning fluid, but if you look around you can usually pick up some at a decent price. I usually end up with cat nose-prints and such on my screen so I need something that works nicely. I got my current screen and keyboard cleaning fluid for about $2 (250ml lasts ages).
I would not try heavy solvents as they may damage the screen coating.

A lint free microfiber cloth and distilled water are all you need.

I use 1:4 ratio white vinegar to warm water and a nice LCD Shamie (spelling I know) that I received with my 46" Samsung HD TV as well my ACER 24" LCD Monitor.. Works well though maybe a bit douche"like" afterwards.
