CompUSA -> "Fellowes Screen Cleaning Wipes."
~$8 for 100 of them.

Thanks, anything free?

Can I use a damp (not wet at all) papertowel?

I now know the right way, and the cheap way to do it.

gently rub using a soft cloth or towel dipped in 50/50 isopropyl alcohol/water solution

When I am just wiping off dust, I use a small lens cloth.

I used to use those isopropyl alcohol pads you get at the drugstore. Then I would wipe off the streaks it left with one of those microfiber cloths from the sunglass hut.

My dad then bought me one of those special screen-cleaning spray bottles and another microfiber/lint-free cloths that works just as well.

Some people say the alcohol kills the screen, but I've done it for years and I've never had a problem with it. I don't know what it does on those new laptop screens that are shiny though.

damp papertowel/tissue

but not if it has any like bullshit chemicals in it to make it smell nice or whatever. That shit leaves streaks.
