Best and cheapest way to clean TFT screens?

Just looking to clean my TFT screen on my new laptop and just wondering the best way to go about this. Ideally the cheapest way!

Thanks in advance! :D

    soft cloth (vileda/microfibre) with water on, then dry with a dry bit of cloth.

    or use isopropyl alcohol, but it's not as cheap as water.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    As albertross suggests - you can get a pack of 3 microfibre cleaning cloths at Tesco if you were wondering where to find them!

    I use only microfibre, and clean the screen and other parts of the computer very frequently. Occasional very light dampening of the cloth will keep tough dirt from settling in the first place.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    Non moisturising baby wipes are the mutts nuts and cheap!

    I use a slightly damp tissue as well. I used to pinch specialised impregnated towels from work, but they used to make a paste out of the dust which stuck on my screen! Brand was NiceDay, so maybe those are rubbish.

    Damp kitchen roll.
    I know it sound weird, but it works!

    any soft lint free cloth

    I use a thing I got from Play.com - looks like a mini paint roller but it does a great job
