    What do you guys suggest for cleaning the monitor and the dust that builds up in all the sides of the monitor (where the monitor touches the plastic) hardest place to clean.

    Any ideas??

    Jeff.

    I have HDTV safe wet wipes, I use that a toothpick to clean every nook and cranny you could think of. Always comes out looking brandnew

    You can make a mix of 50/50 alcohol and water. Wipe it clean and it'll be streak free.
