Lens cleaner is shurely very good. Alcohol w/o additions (optical grade
one) is what I use. Pay attention to not apply to much, because a
conductive liquid going into the gap of the display could cause a short
at the display driver and maybe destroy them. I had something like this
not yet with a Newton but with a Compaq Aero 610 Notebook which got a
few raindrops in the gap of the display and cover. After a few seconds
use under this conditions it switched a 1cm wide vertical line on the
screen to black and didn't recover. The screen and display driver had to
be replaced.
