Cleaning LCDs, Apple's confusing instructions.
Apple's lost me here with their cleaning instructions. The flatpanel iMac's MacHelp says to use cleaning things designed for use on LCDs. Ok, that's great. Seems simple enough.
So I get the "Notebook Screen"-specific cleaning wipes and realize... wait, the MacHelp *ALSO* says not to use alcohol containing products. But the notebook screen wipes *do* use alcohol! The obvious question I have now is this: what do they want you to use?

Don't waste money on these expensive cleaning solutions, man. HUGE waste of money.
1. Disconnect all cables from monitor. These include power, video, USB or ADB cables.
2. Place dirty monitor in trash bin or take it to your nearest electronics recycler (not eBay!).
3. Visit your nearest Apple Store or store.apple.com and purchase a new Apple monitor.
4. Connect your new Apple monitor to your CPU.
5. If you notice any dirt or dust on your new monitor, simply wipe it off with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Your monitor is now clean.

Damn that comic was funny, thanks.
Avoid paper-based towels however... Not sure about LCDs but I know for a fact that the fibers can scratch surfaces... Prob. better just to stick w/ soft/mircofiber cloth.
Use your finger nail to help get those hard to removes spots...
