I have a MBP with the Matte screen, and I've got what appears to be a "dirty" screen that I can't seem to get clean. I've used those premoisted monitor wipes, and they seem to do a good job, so I'm wondering if this could be grime UNDER the screen somehow, or down deep in the matte finish, or if I just need to go out and buy this iKlean I keep reading about.

Thanks!

whats up thecerealcommie . I have those issues too. At first I thought it was water marks. On mine it almost looks like if you poured a little water on a piece of glass and let it dry without wiping it except I cant wipe it!
 
That's a great way to describe it....I'm slightly upset, because this is the only problem with an otherwise perfect computer...

I haven't had that problem with my MBP (thank God) but I did with a Sony VAIO I used to own.

I couldn't get it clean with anything.

Then I bought a THIN microfiber cloth from Staples I think (thin like a handkerchief). The fibers must be so small that it can get into the pores of the computer screen because when I rubbed it (and pressed it fairly hard) it cleared it up. I didn't use any liquids at all.
