Fixing a scratch on an LCD Monitor.

ReallyDedPoet · 01-19-09, 10:41 AM

Hi lads,

Any advice? I have three very small ones off to the right hand side. Just
curious if they can be fixed or even lessened somewhat.

Any help is appreciated

This might shed a little light on the situation. Never tried any of the methods mentioned 'cause I've been fortunate enough not to have scratched mine (

probably shouldn't oughta have said that).

Be happy it is a small scratch. My nephew decided one day to put a sticker on his dad's LCD. When it did not come off, he decided to use a flat head screwdriver. Sometimes you just have to watch what a 5 year old is up to.

Yeah, they are not that noticeable, it could have been much worse.

@ DT & SW, thanks for the links lads

:rotfl:Just sometimes? If I remember when my kids were that age correctly, that was a full time job. If I could have afforded it when mine were that age, I would have paid somoene just to follow them around 24/7:rotfl:

Playpen my man, playpen

But, funny you mention it, my nephews father is about as attentive as a 100 year old man. In short, he does not give two craps.
