Damp cloth (not wet) with a small amount of mild detergent. Either that or some specialist LCD cleaning solution.

Is it a hard glass screen or soft plastic one? The glass screens, although often coated, are harder wearing than the soft plastic ones, so will be more resiliant to cleaning.

Cleaning LCDs requires special care.
That's the way to clean it that I've read in one magazine:
You'll need:

- rubbing alcohol (aka isopropyl alcohol)

- distilled water (not tap water!)

- A soft cloth (lint-free)

Dilute the rubbing alcohol into a mix with about 50% alcohol and the rest distilled water.

Pour this solution into a spray bottle.

Spray the mix onto a soft lint-free cloth. Old t-shirts and microfiber car wash cloths are both good choices. Large cloths are better since it helps to reduce the risk of leaving streaks on the screen from too much pressure.
And start cleaning)

I usually use a damp cloth of some sort. You can buy "profesional" stuff though

but don't forget the distilled water.. don't wanna ruin the telly by using impure water
