A soft damp cloth should work fine. DON'T use ammonia-based (Windex) or alcohol-based cleaners.

And work on your aim. ;)

Why can't you use windex? I use it all the time and it's always worked fine for me.

Beside that, though, most places like Walmart, Circuit City, etc carry screen wipes that are supposed to be safe on electronics.

Windex (and any ammonia product) is for glass. If you have a CRT then it's probably fine (although it may affect an anti-glare coating). On a laptop it will eventually cloud the plastic, as will things like Formula 409, etc. It's not like you're frying eggs on your monitor (or well, if you are...stop it!). There shouldn't be anything on the surface of your monitor that a soft cloth dampened with water wouldn't easily remove. Buying screen wipes is a complete waste of money. But this is just my humble opinion. You of course are free to use whatever you want.
