What can I clean the TV with?

I have recently bought this TV... http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/televisions-5000-series/5000-series-42-inch-full-hd-1080p-digital-tv-42pfl5604h_12/prd/gb/
I love the TV, but it is a dust magnet! No matter what I do the glossy black surround and stand are dusty. Dusters don't work, they just move the dust around and leave yellow fibres behind. I tried polish wipes, but they leave streaks.
I've had the same problem with the PS3, but that's in the TV stand and not really on display, so never been bothered before.
Anyone have any idea of what else I could use?

Microfibre cloths. Get mine from a wholesalers for ~55p. Apply some antistatic spray to the cloth?0

I agree, they are design disaster, not only a " dust magnet " but a reflection nightmare as well.
As suggested, a microfibre cloth really is the best solution to this problem.0 -
