You can use a microfiber cloth. Alternatively you can use any LCD screen wipes/spray but after that a microfiber cloth is something great to have since it doesn't carry over dust/lint etc. You can pick these up from any place that sells electronics for the most part (BB, CC, etc.)

Watered down Windex also can work...that cloth that cleans your glasses should be a microfiber cloth though too :P

I've heard not to use ammonia based solutions and just rubbing alcohol diluted w/ water. Always w/ a lint free soft cloth.

Stizzle is absolutely right. Just to reiterate, do not use Windex or an ammonia-based cleaner on your screen. It will eat away at the anti-glare coating and leave permanent streaks you can't remove. Diluted rubbing alcohol and water works okay, except any rubbing alcohol you buy from the pharmacy will have oils in it to keep your skin from drying out. Your best bet is a product specifically designed to clean LCDs. They're made to be residue-free and to repel dust. It's a two part process, where you wipe down the screen with cleaning solution and then dry it with a microfiber cloth. Any office supply or electronics store should have something which will work.

eh! Windex w/ Vinegar isn't ammonia based (as mentioned before) so it's still a cheap solution if you water it down a little.

Oooh I never even heard of that. I thought you just meant some strange hippie concoction of regular Windex, plus vinegar. Of course there are other things besides ammonia which can damage screens. But if you've had luck with it in the past then yeah, it's probably safe enough.

A bit expensive, but works AWESOME and it's all I use on my DLP and LCD.
