I have had my cinema display for months, and love it. By question is, what's the best solution for cleaning the surface?

I have a few finger prints on there (though i've never touched it) but I am hesitant to use anything to clean it.

I'm curious what people use? Soap and water? nothing? isopropyl alcohol ?

Any suggestions?
Thanks -

I use iKlear on mine and it works great! Gets rid of dust, fingerprints, smudges, etc.

I use a Swifter to lightly get off dust and use Fellowes screen cleaning wipes to clean all else.

Ouch! $20.
I don't mind spending it, but is it necessary? What kind of solution is that? Are there solutions around the house to make a 'home brew' ?

Hey! Expensive monitors deserve expensive solution (pun intended).

No. It's a waste of money. I bought it once. Damn it sucks. It's a huge racket.

What do you use?

I lick my display

J/K. I think pretty much any mild cleaner will do. Even a damp cloth will do it.

water... and kleenex.. usually.. gets out anything..

don't be afraid to get a decent little bit of water on your monitor.. just be swift and don't let it drip near the edges...

hehe :shrug:

You can use just a moist non-abrasive cloth that does not drip. Whatever you use, make sure that it does not have alcohol of any kind in it. I just bought some of the "pop-up" wipes, 100 to a container which should last about 2 years if used once a week. About $9.00. Very easy, you don't have to spray a seperate cloth, just pull and use. There are a couple of ones on the market, one is Fellows and the one I bought I can't remember the name.

Do you get bad streaking doing this?

A 50% rubbing alcohol (isoprophanal) / 50% solution is fine, you can do 40 alcohol/60 water if it's not that dirty, or dilute it even more if you want.

This is a recomended solution in the powerbook manuals for LCDs, and I've used it on other lcds before and it works great.

If you are hesitant, just try water, it'll probably get it out.
