careless223 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 So I accidentally scratched my LCD screen and there is a pretty big scratch that is distracting and very visible. Basically it slid off my car seat and got scratched. I tried the Vaseline method and it works pretty well but I am looking for a more permanent solution. Does anyone know of anything that works? Yes I already tried google and that didn't help much. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unasoto Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I was thinking try a CD scratch repair kit or one of those scratch guard sheets you put over the screen. :?: never tried either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 you can scratch CRT's too (even though there the only things i use ) With diamond yes, but you can scratch a LCD with your finger nail. Score 1 more for CRT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set up the monitor on the table, and started gaming, the base of the mon broke, and it titled and landed onto its face.... shit load of scratches, morel of the story, CRT's are like gravity, they harder u try the more it fights back...

Nanob0t Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 sounds deady, sand paper on light plastic film? 2200 wet sandpaper is very very fine and it's wet so it can't do as much damage as you think. The sandpaper is equivilant to paper. I'm not familiar to the rubbing compound, but it sounds like a good idea to me. You may want to test it on something else first, make sure it dries clear. Make sure the stuff you fill it in with is runny and do it very slowly. If not, you could always go to a computer shop and see what they'd do. Be good getting professional advice.

careless223 Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 The ironic thing is that I scratched my CRT too. T.T I need a bulletproof moniter that can handle being dropped off the Empire State Building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
