    I'm talking about ones where after you wipe, it prevents more dust from accumulating.

    iirc, anti-static does not prevent dust from accumulating on screen... it helps the cloth to pick up dust.

    teflon sprays provides a smooth coating (like those non-stick pans) and may help dust to slide off... but that's for fabrics and the spray i have requires heat setting...

    but then again... there's this...
    never used it myself...

    FYI: google... 5 seconds max...

    Sorry , but anti-static disperses static electricity , electrostatic picks up dust.

    ^Does it do its job? Like did you notice a big difference after using it?

    If it does then I definitely have to get it

    o_O I don't think dryer sheets would do the trick would it?

    Upon buying a box of Nice N' Clean, I tested them on a few older laptop screens I had.

    Results, GREAT!

    It is no streaky, and does a great job removing oily muck, dust, and all particulates. I highly recommend it. It does help resist dusting as well, atleast from what I can see.

    Or

    You can go with the trust micro-fiber and water like most!
