What is the proper way to clean a PC monitor? (sh.itjust.works)

I haven't gotten the habit of doing it and it never got bad but I'm starting to notice some subtle spots in it if I shed light into the monitor. I remember a while ago (not on Lemmy) seeing people joking their monitor messed up after trying to clean it up and it just stayed black on some parts and some people were pointing out it's the way they probably cleaned their monitor so ever since this honestly put the fear in me of not worrying about cleaning it but now I guess I have to. What is the proper way to clean the monitor? Should I avoid what chemicals or chemicals altogether and only water and with/on what?

The people who break their monitor are most likely pushing way too hard on the screen. Be a bit gentle.

And/or are using IPA

Yeah, IPA is way too harsh. I think sticking with a brown ale, or even a kölsh is much safer.
