What method is best for cleaning PC and/or Laptop screens. There is nothing worse than trying to clone out a mark only to find it's a bit of debris on the screen

I just use a damp cloth and duster. But your local comp. shop will probably have disposable screen wipes

When I bought a Huey Calibrator it came with two sachets of
KLEAR SCREEN Tissues. Just one wipe and the screen was spotless.
I keep meaning to hunt them down in the UK.

EDIT: They seem expensive These from the US
cost £1.61 each... Ouch!!! link

EDIT2:
Just ordered 12 + cloth from Amazon £7.99 delivered.
Well worth it. The tissue will keep a few days if
you reseal the bag. Will do TV as well.

A microfibre cloth slightly damp does the job extremely well. The best ones are just the normal cleaning cloths you can get from the Supermarkets, no need for any fancy cleaning solutions.

There's no need for any special cleaning solutions.

A soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, followed by a gentle wipe dry with another soft and clean cloth.

True but plasma cleaner leaves no streaks and vapourises quicker so from a productive to cost ratio its pretty good

A Brillo pad* is useful if you want to add texture to your images!

Spec savers spec cleaner spray - good enough for Pentax lenses good enough for laptop, TV and tablet and PC screens. Kitchen roll well wetted and no probs. Been using for years and no probs at all.
Enjoy life
