Scratched Anti-glare coating

Picked up a refurbished monitor at the computer show and scratched it on the way home, rats! Not the glass mind you, but the anti-glare coating. It's a 21inch Dell P1100 with a Sony Trinitron tube. It's really noticeable with light colored screens. Is there something I can do to seal it up? Would a CD repair kit do the trick? I see where Memorex makes an "optical" repair kit that will also cover up scratches on monitors. Is it usable?

That sucks. You might be able to “feather” the coating to be less noticeable with that Memorex product..sort of polish the edges so to speak.

The other possibility is to remove the coating all together. Won’t be antiglare anymore but it will be uniform.

I don't know if that scratch stuff will do it. You could try it but then I think you'd be looking at the smudgyness from the stuff around the scratch.

You could strip off the costing all together too.
