u probaly scratched the glare coating, im not sure what will fix it but dont use rubbing alcohol

.:DuD3:. · 12-23-2006, 10:09 PM

is there any kind of option, maybe taking that top layer off the screen and replacing it maybe? im not sure if the screen can be replaced too easily only becuase its my dads new imac, where the monitor and cpu are all in the monitor.

Rmesser · 12-23-2006, 10:13 PM

ahh looks like a majority of those products are cleaners. they do have ones to take off scratches of ipods and ibooks, but how effective do you think itd be?

Warranty will not cover scratches, and I don't know of any product that will remove scratches from an LCD screen.

Just a thought - never tried it but Brasso is supposed to be the best thing for removing scratches on cds. it's a liquid brass polish with a very fine abrasive. it buffs the scratches out.

i wouldn't use an abrasive on an lcd monitor

Normally, neither would I but it's the only way you'll get scratches out. I doubt that they can be filled transparently and it really depends on how deep/wide they are
