Must use damp tissue only? Or is one of my disposable :rolleyes:Zeiss lens wipes ok? Its 100% isopropanol. I don't want any anti reflective coating wearing off as Mac has had that problem before.

I'd just use a damp cloth (with water), not tissue or paper towel, and definitely not anything with detergent or alcohol.

Apple's recommendations are at https://support.apple.​com/en-us/HT204172 (external link) but specific to displays see below:

Displays

Disconnect the display from power, from its connection to a computer, and from any external devices. Next use the cloth that came with your display or another soft, dry cloth to wipe dust from the screen. If additional cleaning of the display panel or case is required use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean the display.

Warning: Don't clean the screen with a cleaner containing acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It might drip inside the display and cause damage.

K thanks folks. Part of the problem is that I have a big rubber keyboard condom that leaves an imprint on the screen. I've started taking it out when closing the machine down and that's kept the screen a lot more clean. I'll stick to water for what I need.
