How do you clean your HDTV screen?

Windex

In the HDBeat podcast last week, I mentioned that I clean my HDTV set daily. Yes, it's a bit obsessive, but the kids and pets keep crossing the masking tape on the floor that I laid out in a three-foot radius around the set. When will they ever learn?

Anyway, I got to thinking how I clean the screen which got me thinking: how do you clean your screen? I personally use Windex spray that I apply to an old newspaper and then I wipe the screen; there's nary a streak on the screen thanks to the newspaper method. Now, my two sets are older CRTs with a flat glass face; you may have an LCD, Plasma or some microdisplay device, so what secrets can you share on keeping that screen nice and clean?
