I want to say that endust has a aerosol spray that is safe for all electronics. I will google and see. 🙂

The manual for the monitor should tell you. If you don’t have the manual, it could be available on the web. Mine says to just use a damp soft cloth. From what I’ve read elsewhere, other cleaners could damage it.

70% isopropyl alcohol is what I use. Spray on a cloth then wipe the screen. NEVER spray the equipment directly. Never had problems.

[Novus #1](http://happcontrols.com/cleaning_maintenance/25132800.htm) is a good all round plastic cleaner but for just screens I’d say Happ’s [Plexi-Clean Foaming Anti-Static Cleaner and Polisher](http://happcontrols.com/cleaning_maintenance/29117510.htm).
