Cleaning displays

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
What do you guys use to clean your monitors? I had this gel stuff that worked great on my TV and my Acer monitor, but now that stuff sucks for some reason with my Asus PAs.

Just curious as to what you guys use cheers!

Haven't had my monitor get really dirty yet, but for those pesky fingerprints and occasional dust, I just use a microfiber cloth.

I have the same issue with kids touching my monitor. I use a wet microfiber cloth to put a little water on the surface, and dry it with a dry part of the microfiber. Use this for my tvs, phone, everything electronic really.
