    A damp lint free cloth with water on it should be enough. For greasy marks an alcohol wipe is fine.

    You shouldn't use anything containing Alcohol as it will damage the coatings on the surface of the panel.

    Microfibre cloths are good, or you can buy wipes from Curry's for about a fiver that have a cleaning solution in one pouch and a cloth on the other. You get about ten in a packet, I use them, they're fine.

    Whatever you chose, make sure you do it when the screen is cool otherwise the heat will leave smear marks

    Alcohol wipes are perfectly fine they are not 100% IPA. I use a 50/50 IPA and deionised water mix for cleaning them, it leaves a streak free finish as the water and alcohol evaporate off very quickly.
