WARNING: Before  cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor  power  cable from the electrical outlet.  
For  best practices,  follow  the instructions in the list below  while  unpacking, cleaning,  or handling your  monitor: To clean your  antistatic  screen, lightly dampen a  soft, clean cloth  with water. If  possible, use a  special screen-cleaning tissue  or solution  suitable for the antistatic  coating.  Do
not use benzene, thinner, ammonia,  abrasive cleaners, or compressed  air.
Use  a  lightly-dampened, warm cloth  to  clean the monitor.  Avoid  using  detergent of any kind as some  detergents leave a  milky film on the monitor.  
If  you notice  white powder  when  you unpack  your  monitor,  wipe it  off with a  cloth.
Handle your  monitor with care as dark-colored monitors  may scratch and  show white scuff marks  more  than  light -colored monitors.
To help maintain the best image quality on your  monitor,  use a  dynamically changing screen saver and  turn  off your  monitor when  not in use.
