    The microfibre cloth that comes with the XPS just moves the dust on the screen to one side, rather then picking it up.
    There are so many out there, so which LCD cleaning wipes do you use, and which do you recommend??

    I have always used a moist soft cloth to clean it and a dry one to finish.

    I agree with Jakpro. Just slightly moisten that microfiber cloth and it should work much better. I've used those, the cloths that come with new glasses, and even very soft, beat up old t-shirts used very gently, and all have worked well. The secret, IMO, is the very slight dampness of the cloth.

    i use regular microfiber not the stuff dell gives you but the stuff made for automotive use and other household chores.. works great if there is a lot of gunk use just a tiny bit of water to dampen the screen then turn and wipe dry
