I'd guess that millions of people worldwide use a commercial cleaner and are pleased with the result. However, the Amazon service representative wasn't surprised by my experience. He said the screen is made of a different material than LCD screens and that the use of screen cleaners can indeed damage the display.

My message is to people who haven't yet used a cleaner on their device. To them, I say, why take the risk, especially if a dry or damp cloth can clean the screen to your satisfaction.

Like I said, if you know that your cleaner doesn't damage your device, then by all means enjoy it. If you've got an unknown variable, either cleaner or device, then a little prudence can go a long way. I didn't even try a plain cloth. I jumped straight to my familiar LCD cleaner.
