does apple sell any product to clean the screen of imac monitor screen?
or any similar product that have good result for u guys to clean mintor screen/LCD TV...
 
the aluminum one but why does that make a different?

Easy, what doesn't harm alum could greatly harm plastic... two different surfaces.

You wouldn't use a mild abrasive on plastic but you might on alum (I wouldn't use either on a computer unless it was to take out mild scratches) which leads to if you HAD to take out mild scratches on a plastic surface you would use a mild abrasive but wouldn't do any good on an alum one... get the point?

So yah, it does make a little difference.

Plus the white ones didn't have the HUGE protective polymer glass that the alum ones have, that can also make a difference in choice of cleaners. The white ones (unless I'm mistaken which happens from time to time) you have access to the actual LCD screen which means you don't want to get certain chemicals on it.

Usually iKlear is pretty good, but if you don't have access to that those pledge whipes (the all purpose electronics ones) work pretty good, but again, if you have the white one it might have a deep down ground in stain that might need a little more tending to (those alum ones have a tendency to not get those things) so again, it sorta does matter what your trying to clean as to HOW you clean it.
 
Follow the directions in the manual...

Dampen the cloth that came with your iMac, or another clean, soft, lint-free cloth, with water only and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.

That fake chamoise that came with the machine works quite well, using a spray bottle filled with water, a couple squirts onto the cloth and it'll clean the machine quite well.

At least this way, there is no chemical residue (or something that'll etch the coating on the aluminum or mess with the glass) plus you don't get water behind the glass.
