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.

Re: Cleaning LED and LCD screans

Don't press.

Don't let any dribbles happen.

Nothing even slightly abrasive.

No alcohol.

Read the manufacturers reccomendations.

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.

Re: Cleaning LED and LCD screans

I use isopropyl alcohol and a tissue.

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