    Thanks for the cleaning guide, but interesting you would recommend a microfiber cloth and tap water to clean the screen.

    I've used those pre-moistened screen wipes plenty of times and never had an issue. Is there a reason you would recommend not using that?

    You're welcome.
    I suggested the microfiber towel and tap water because usually that is enough to clean the screen. The coatings on screens can be sensitive, and with that in mind, I avoid using any sort of chemicals unless I know they're safe. The screen cleaning kits should be fine - at least, I haven't heard of anyone having problems with those. I would say just keep doing what you're doing.

    Thanks for the reply. That makes sense, but as I said I never had any problems with using moist towelettes either. :)
