monster cable (yes the audio cables) makes a cleaner for lcd, dlp, plasma, and crt screens. is runs about 15-20 bucks and is about a 10 oz. bottle. I use it on all of my home tv screens (dlp, crt, and lcd) and it works great. it claims to detract dust. if you have a local tweeter stereo store, they are getting rid of monstercable products. I got mine there for @$13. It also comes with a nice terry cloth.

Also, clearkote quickshine (a qd), is re-badged as a glass cleaner in a lot of computer stores. So if you ever decide to get some quickshine for your car it'll work well on your plastic and glass too.

I would use a quick detailer or Plexus (amazing plastic cleaner). I've used both products and they both work really well. Just make sure you clean the screen with a CLEAN microfiber cloth and don't press excessively hard. I've done many of these screens with Plexus and had great results with a streak free shine.

With the nav, "shine" is what I was concerend about....
Won't that result in more reflective glare????

I want to clean it, but a satin/low gloss finish would be better don't you think?

Your are correct you would not want a shine from your cleaning product on a screen. Those product won't leave a shine, I was referring to having your screen clear and naturally shinny. You wouldn't want the product to leave anything behind on the screen because the screen will get warm and the product could harm the finish. Both the Plexus and quick detailer I linked above will clean the surface and wipe off with no residue.
