safest way to clean a matte laptop screen?

Gaming laptop screen has fingerprints and some sticky marks near the bottom edge. I'm scared of scratching the anti glare coating. Is a microfibre cloth with water fine or do I need a proper screen spray? Not using windex obviously.

Turn it off first so you can actually see the smudges. Dry microfibre cloth, light circles, no pressure. If something is stuck on, dampen a corner of the cloth with a little distilled water, never spray the screen itself. Skip glass cleaner and anything with alcohol or ammonia, matte coatings can go blotchy and it doesn't come back.
