    Correct that LED is a type of LCD, but its just the type of backlighting. As opposed to older style CCFL LCD.
    The pixels are not individually lit by LEDs, typical notebook LED LCD screens are only edge lit, ie the LEDs are only around the edge of the screen

    Microfiber cloth & your own warm breath (it does work).
    You can usually get microfiber cloths free from a Eye Dr.'s office you just have to ask.

    And much more expensive! Please don't confuse back-lighting LED technology (RGB-LED, WLED..) and when a display is itself LED (OLED, AMOLED). The second option is veeeeeery expensive to be incorporated in laptops with screens bigger than 10"

    Hey just so you guys can stop wasting money on any "screen" cleaning kit. Here is the best way to clean pretty much any screen (TV/Laptop).

    isopropyl alcohol and distilled water mix. I use 99% isopropyl alcohol, and mix it about 60/40 with the water.

    AND a GOOD microfiber cloth. I don't who's name is on a MF cloth. Until you do a "CD" test don't use it on ANYTHING you care about....

    CD-Test: Take a unburnt CD/DVD, and the MF towel on the burn side, use light pressure, hard pressure, mix it up. Then take that CD/DVD and put some light on it. If you see swirl marks (light scratches, JUST like you would find on car paint) don't use that towel. Don't throw it away, just don't use it on screens/car paint

    Auto paint correction (removing swirl marks) is a huge hobby of mine.

    All you need is a good microfiber cloth and a few drops of water.

    A good microfiber cloth and water will take grease stains off no problem (maybe a little bit of alcohol if it's really bad). Though the cheap $5 for 5 microfiber cloths at Walmart are not good to use. Like the poster above said, get a good cloth meant for use polishing or cleaning cars, or pay a bit extra and get a Shaggy Mac cloth.
