I have a 17" flat screen monitor for my computer. I tried using a microfiber cloth on it, but a lot of the spots still remain. What is the best way to clean it to get all the spots off?

Can I use something like glass cleaner on a paper towel? Or could that ruin the monitor?

Oh god please don't use water. Did this to my laptop screen once and man it just makes it worse, and worse, and worse. Actually go to your local office depot and buy their screen cleaning solution. It works wonders on glossy screens. Also while I doubt this is a problem pick up some more microfiber cloths because after a while they get dirty and will end up making your screen worse.
