Good screen/disk cleaner? and a good microfiber cloth?

I don't doubt that Windex is fine for handhelds, but I'm afraid if people start thinking "Windex + dirty screen = shiny screen" that will carry over to monitors. Since neither disks nor handhelds should, as you said, ever get that dirty, its best to just say "no" for all screens in case someone wants to generalize it to include monitors.

True. Never underestimate the ability for people to do things that don't make sense.

Well, it does make sense to clean your screen with Windex (which is part of the problem)...and it certainly will make it shiny. Some people just don't that their screens aren't suppose to be quite that shiny.

Oh, also saliva. I used to lick my finger then use that to clean my old Samsung, until I noticed the shiny spots it caused. I'm not sure if that's what caused it, but I can't think of anything else.

I've used Windex for years and I have had no ill effect.  I even have friends that have as well.  Some people just have ocd and over do it.  Maybe if I took a microscope to my screens I may notice something, but I don't care.  For a cd I use rubbing alcohol and my glasses cloth.

Also who sprays Windex directly onto a device?  Spray it on the cloth, not the device.

nstgc:
Some screens don't have the same coating as others. My brother's Asus laptop, for instances does not. Don't go telling people to use Windex on their monitors (or screens) because you don't know what kind of coating they may or may not have. Also, Why do you feel its necessary to use Windex? In my 18 years with computer screens I have never known them to get dirty enough that soap and water wasn't enough. In fact I have no memory of using more than water and spit (spit due to convenience) and I know for certain I've never used a cleaning product.
