    I have two dual Samsung 19" LCDS the 930B model. Anyways there is some dust on them and a few specs of who knows what like pop or something. Are there wipes or anything that I can use or do to clean this stuff off. Thanks

    use some alcohol free wipes, you can probably get them at any bestbuy, compusa, circuitcity and so on.

    i use these ones called fellowes screen cleaning wipes.

    or you can try this http://www.legrady.hu/sc.html

    i just use the fellowes screen wipes. they work fine for me and you ca keep em after they dry incase you just want to wipe off dust or something. it costs $7 at officemax for a 100 wipes.

    another thing thats works is use the eye glass cleaner thats comes with your new glasses when you buy them and the cloth too or use a really soft all cotton tshirt

    actually clean with just water and paper towel works sometimes if you just have some dust, but with lcds you cant but much pressure on the moniter so you have to buy some of thoes wipes. i just use some windex wipes on my crt moniter.

    bad advice Sean NEVER use paper towel on your montior or LCD only a soft ALL cotton cloth as paper towel WILL damage it

    Windex or anything with ammonia in it is a BIG NO NO. it can etch the screen surface and can cause the plastic to go cloudy. You don't want that to happen!
