I did a search, I swear, and I didn't come up with anything. What is everyone using to safely clean their LCD monitors? Especially, what prevents streaking and won't damage the surface.

I use nothing but a little distilled water on a soft clean cotton cloth (like a piece of a well worn old tee shirt). Some people advocate using isopropyl alcohol or a 50-50 mix of alcohol-distilled water, but unless you live/work in a toxic environment (or have a bad habit of blowing cigar or cannabis smoke on your screen) why would you need to use a solvent?

I only clean a cold monitor, with power off. I spray a little of the distilled water on the cloth, never directly on the display, then a few gentle edge to edge wipes (never "scrub"). Turn the cloth over and wipe once around the periphery. You can purchase distilled water at almost any store.
