How to clean an LCD Monitor?

Synthesis

I own an Acer AL2216W monitor, and I'm very pleased with it, but I haven't really had much luck cleaning it, and after a few years, it's beginning to show (especially when I'm looking at something with a lot of white in it).

I tried 'Klear Screen' brand cleaner, which is ammonia and alcohol free, and that helps a little, but it still leaves a lot of streaks pretty much everywhere. Using a microfiber to wipe doesn't seem to help either, and does nothing about the streaks and smudges.

What am I doing wrong?

I always use eye glass cleaner and micro fiber cloths. It may take a few passes, but it always does a great job.

Ferrus

I've got the same problem. Microfiber cloth helps a bit but still leaves smudgy bits. I've been using a cleaning gel but it isn't that great. Good for glasses but not so much for monitors.

I haven't tested this yet but I've heard microfiber cloth + destilled water + a tiny bit of dish liquid really helps and isn't as expensive as specialized gels.

Granted, I don't let my monitor go years between cleaning, but I use anti-static monitor wipes I picked up at Frys for $7 and they work great. I'm looking at the Klear Screen stuff on Amazon, and it states that there's a very specific procedure you need to follow, and if you see grime afterwards, you've done it wrong. Did you follow instructions, or just use them straight out of the packaging?
