I use a damp lint-free cloth ( you know, like you clean 
glasses/windscreens/monitors with ) with just a tiny amount of detergent 
on it, then go over it again with a dry lint-free cloth. Works wonders, 
no streaks or anything.

I'll never use anything like Windex on a monitor, having seen what that 
exact product did to a coated professional monitor. Wow - sticky goop in 
tearing globs. The guy eventually /kind of/ fixed it by using a truly 
vicious solvent to totally remove the coating, but the monitor is very 
mich worse off w/o the coating.
