Hope someone can help....my 2yr old daughter has managed to scratch my
TV - a pretty standard 31" Panasonic flatscreen (not plasma/LCD).

Is there any way to remove this scratch on the glass - it is a
"squiggle" roughly 1 1/2 " long but doesn't seem too deep- but it is
extremely annoying....

Grateful for any advice

Remember there's a hard vacuum 'behind' the glass screen.
Approximately 14 lb per square inch! Talk to your household
insurance agent/claims man ... s/he may prefer to fork out
for a new CRT rather than the consequences of the scratched tube
failing.

Which are practically zero.

Back in the day, there was an advert (after some media hype about
televisions imploding) featuring someone beating on an operating TV
with a hammer.
The faceplate is very, very tough.

If you get a tube out and take it down somewhere you can chuck it 10' face
down onto concrete you can make a satisfying bang.....

so I'm told.. )
