Best method to clean screen?

Was just wondering what the best method is to clean all the fingerprints off of my screen. I figured a dry cloth would probably be safest, but I'm open to hearing everyone's opinions.

I only use microfiber. Maybe slightly damp but no solvents. Just wipe them off.

I use LCD cleaning wipes that I "borrow" from my workplace.

Keep doing that! My wife works for the parent corporation who owns Sunglass Hut. Use lots and lots of the stuff! Maybe her company stock will come out of the toilet! Thanks.

+1, that's what I use as well. The anti-static properties on Plexus is nice because it helps minimize dust accumulation. Also, you want to avoid using a dry towel, even if it is microfiber, when it's more than a light layer of dust. With any product, never spray it directly onto the screen either, spray it into the towel, then wipe, then re-wipe with a fresh surface.
