Anyone know if scratches can be removed from LCD's, I took my headphones off last night and caught the mic on the screen and it's left a nice scratch in the center of the screen, only about 2 cm long but it's driving me nuts, like a hair on the screen.

Is there any way to polish this out, I've tried screen cleaner and cotton buds but no dice.

Cheers

nope afraid not, any form of mild abrasion will make it even worse too.

you can get replacement "glass" but that all depends if the screen was built with the "glass" seporate and not epoxy sand wedged onto the active matrix.

but its gonna be expensive regardless

You 'may' be able to repair it with the stuff they use for CD scratches - should be able to pick it up from a music store.

I don't think there's much you can do, unless you can replace the piece you scratched.

I'm still trying to figure out how you managed to hit your screen while taking off your headphones.

The mic hit the screen, I took the headphones off and keep them hanging on a wall speaker next to the screen and as I waved them to get the cable off the desk so i can hang em I cought the screen
