Just use a damp microfiber cloth. I wouldn't worry about pressure, wash it with the same respect you would on a mirror or window and you'll be fine.

I would treat it with a lot more respect than a mirror or a window LCD screens are very rarely glass

Don't press.

Don't let any dribbles happen.

Nothing even slightly abrasive.

No alcohol.

Read the manufacturers reccomendations.

The manufacturer can advise whether a light solvent like alcohol can be used to remove greasy deposits.

Having said that you don't want to press hard on the screen as this puts a lot of stress on the glass components as well as any integrated electronics.

I use isopropyl alcohol and a tissue.

Never scratched or damaged a screen, glass, plastic, or otherwise.
