From: Peter Olcott on 8 Apr 2010 17:34 All that it took to completely eliminate a somewhat deep two inch long scratch on my LCD monitor was a little turtle wax (car wax) and some rubbing with a paper towel. In less than two minutes no scratch was apparent, and there is no distortion of text where the scratch used to be. Even very close inspection reveals no trace of the scratch. Hope that this helps.

I'll have to weigh up wether the purchase of some car wax and hoping that it fixes it is worth the loss I might get over describing the screen as having a blemish. Hmm, maybe nieghbour has some, he's into cars. Problem is he's the guy who might buy my laptop..... Cheers. -- Shaun. Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day...

About a gram is enough to do it four times. Make sure that you get car wax and not rubbing compound. I had to do it about four times to completely eliminate every trace of the scratches.

I don't think that there is any anti glare coating on my screen. My screen has a thin piece of plastic covering. I think that is the way that most all lcd screen are made. |
