I just got a lap top with a lcd briteview screen. What do you use to clean these?

mix 1 part water and 1 part 90% isopropyl alcohol, which works out to... um.. something just under a 50% solution.
Be absolutely sure to use a very VERY soft cloth like a piece of soft flannel. Do NOT use paper towels or anything more abrasive than an old worn out cotton Tshirt. Absolutely do NOT use windex or anything with ammonia in it, it can etch the screen surface and can cause the plastic to go cloudy. You don't want that to happen!
when in doubt, follow the manufacturers recomendation!
You can also use a microfiber or cleaning cloth designed for computers, available at computer stores. Dust the screen often with a dry, soft cloth or a special mini blower created for that purpose, because it can attract an amazing amount of dust in a short time.

There are cleaning wipes on the market today that are safe for LCD screens. I think I use the Kensington brand - not sure. Just make sure it clearly states that it is laptop/LCD screen safe, and don't just buy the cheapest you can find.

Great advice already provided by the users above but just wanted to include another option, that you might already have in your drawers. I have used camera lens cleaner / lens cloth on my LCDs with great results as well.
