i used isopropyl (sp?) alcohol wipes, the kind you get at a drugstore for injections, and it worked out real well. it tends to streak, so i used a microfiber cloth to polish them off.

Acetone will eat the antiglare layer off an LCD. If you use it highly diluted it would take forever but its still possible. I know because i have stripped an LCD of the antiglare layer using none other then Acetone and time.

If you do ruin your panel though, ill take it off your hands for cheap i need another polarizer.

I use a damp cloth... it's a bitch to get it to dry streak-free sometimes, but it's nice to know that I'm not potentially damaging anything

you could always pick up the LCD screen wipes at any computer/electronics store. But yeah, that's probably a waste of money even though you know it SHOULD be safe.

buy a bottle of isopropyl alcohol for <$1, mix 1/4 iso w/ 3/4 water and use a non-abrasive towel.

works like a charm.
