My monitor is dirty. Quite dirty, and no, it has nothing to do with the Titty Board.

I was going to grab a bottle of 409 and some paper towels, but figured I'd check y'all first for tips on what to use for this so that it won't end up looking even worse.

I think 409 would streak... I use regular paper towels, dry and in a "buffing" motion, like you would use to wax your car, small loops! until it's clean...

Any glass cleaner works on the screen itself. As for the plastic case the 409 would work, but don't spray it on the plastic, (it could get inside via the airholes). Spray it on the cloth and then wipe it down.

basically anything that cleans surfaces will work

Like God of Thunder said, don't spray it on the screen or casing, spray it on the towel, then wipe it down

Windex and a paper towel. Works fine. I havent actually tried that on an LCD screen, but it should still work fine.

409 should be fine too. Try it, its not like its gonna hurt anything

I breathe on a towel and rub the screen. It works surprisingly well, try it.

Noooooooooo!!!!! DO NOT use any type of cleaner with amonia in it!!! They can seriously damage the protective coatings on the monitor! Just use plain old water and a cloth towel.

Sandpaper, 1000 grit. That'll get any of those annoying "protective" coatings off.

I want my monitor uncoated because the coatings reduce the lumens emitted by the monitor. Also, they can reduce the contrast ratio a lot, which leads to slower pixel warm up times.

It also helps to hit the monitor every once in a while. The little people inside that hold the picutures in front of the light get lazy sometimes.

All these statements will be made into obvious jokes, like I did with the last line above. Even so, someone will read it, and not be able to decide if I'm kidding or not. What fun.*
