On all my LCD screens - monitor, TV, camera, calculator, et cetera, I use regular ol' Pledge Furniture Polish and a paper towel.
Never scratched anything yet!
If it's made for fine furniture finishes, how abrasive can it be?

Pledge is full of waxes, oils, and other chemicals not really designed to be used on plastics. And water.. So that destroys your "water is bad" theory.
70% or less isopropyl alcohol is completely safe and almost all LCD manufacturers condone its use. I use that and a soft microfiber cloth. Paper towels are chock full of sharp fibers to scratch soft plastics.. Doesn't everyone know this? You don't ever want to use paper towels on CDs, why would you do it to an LCD?
Yes, water is caustic and abrasive, but so are practically all liquids given enough time, so that's a bit misleading..

I use eye-glasses cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth. That seems to get the job done pretty well. I also usually clean it when the machine is on, with the backlight off (so I can see the smudges better) so the fluid will dry faster.

I spritz a little lens cleaner on a soft cloth. It works fine. Water here in AZ is actually fairly abrasive because of high mineral content. If I used water, it would be distilled water.
I rarely have to clean my laptop LCD. I keep it closed when not actually using it - and I try not to watch porn on it.
