Replace matte on dell 2407wfp

[gweminence]

So the thumb button on this monitor stopped working, and I was prying the casing off with a screwdriver to manually press the power strip, and slipped, scratching the screen with a roughly 4" gash in the upper left corner. My question is, is it possible to replace the plastic that got scratched? Or is it part of the screen. This is NOT a glossy display, so there's no glass or anything.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks dave, I tried that, and it didn't work. So either my matte is different (likely), or the scratch is too deep. Sigh.

Ouch,

Sorry to hear that. Check out this thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1466914

Actually; I'd say it is probubly time for an upgrade/replacement. I know money is tight, but you can get a Dell 2209WA for about $230. I bought one for my mom and it is well worth the money.
