Scratched screen :(

[Terak]

Hey guys.

After Syco's lan on saturday, i didn't place my lcd screen properly in the back of my car.
I have now scratched it :/.

Anyone knows where and how I can get it replaced? And how much this would cost?

is it matte or glossy ?

 

[Raven Gold]

Yeah... Don't bother trying to fix it, you're gonna bend overbackwards trying to find a guy and than you're gonna pay through your ass, you might aswell just go and buy a brand new screen. :\

Yeah thats what I thought. But surely theres someone who can just replace the bit thats scratched? Its just a flimsy piece of plastic?

You can probably just replace the screen sheet itself, without having to buy an entirely new monitor...

Put toothpaste on it and rub it out. That's how we used to remove scratch marks from perspex back in the day.

Are you serious? Hectic. But this isnt perspex its like a thin film?

I'd take Voicy's advice there with a pinch of um, dental floss?

What have you scratched? The actual viewing area of the screen or the frame around it? If the frame, I'd leave it be personally. If it's the actual panel, it's probably cheaper to just get a new screen.

Its the actual viewing area. That sheet of clear thin plastic
