computer monitor inquiry now completed

I have both LCD and a Opticlear slim thin-line monitor ready to be cleaned the proper way. Should a cleaning solution be applied or just a wet towelette or scot-towel?

LCD cleaning

Why? Dirt, dust, and finger prints can cause the computer screen to be difficult to read.

[URL removed] Unlike a computer monitor, the LCD / flat-panel display is not made of glass, therefore requires special cleaning procedures.

When cleaning the LCD screen it is important to remember to not spray any liquids onto the LCD directly, press gently while cleaning, and do not use a paper towel as it may cause the LCD to become scratched.

To clean the LCD screen we recommend that you use a non-rugged microfiber cloth, soft cotton cloth, or Swiffer duster. If a dry cloth does not completely clean the screen, you can apply rubbing alcohol to the cloth and wipe the screen with the damp cloth. Rubbing alcohol is actually used to clean the LCD before it leaves the factory.

Not sure on these, but I was told to NEVER spray the screen, always apply with a dampened cloth. Goes for the TV screeens as well.

Hope you find the answer.
