My SGI 1600SW

I would just use some of that plastic polish if you have some.... Either that, or windex sounds good.

Windex is usually what I use, just be sure of course not to soak it. Just a light mist, should be fine.

never ever EVER spray anything directly on the screen, especialy when its on....just spray some cleaner onto a rag...trust me cing a lcd fry out just cause of some 2 dollar glass cleaner isnt pretty.....

You do have a point there Haddy, prolly best to put it on a rag seperate and then clean off your screen.

The only thing you're allowed to spray cleaner directly on doesn't contain electornics... Otherwise, you always just damnpen the cloth with the cleaner, and then clean...

Also, Windex running down a moniter screen, getting inside and frying the moniter isn't pretty....

rubbin alcohol works good too....basicly anything will work as long as u dont let it dry on there or let it get behind the screen
