glare off i think, please help i just want to minimize it if at all
possible
Thanks

You could try someone who does plastic fabrication / welding.

Is the scratch on teh Lenticular Screen or on the Clear Screen Protector?
If the mar is on the protector, optical quality plexiglass can be cut to the
size of the protector and used.
However, if the mar is on the Lenticular screen then buying another screen
is the only answer.

Try filling the scratch with thick CA. Will take some dexterity, and
perhaps a fine needle and mag glass. Can't say how it will affect the
optics. Maybe try a small area for test.

Some Novus plastic polish might do the trick, but you'll probably have
to polish off the rest of the anti glare coating.

It would be nearly impossible to properly polish out the scratch and not
have any visible damage. When polishing, you will also be removing any
anti-reflective coatings.

There are polishing compounds that will work with Plexiglas, but on most
plastics, they may cause hazing or cloudiness. For an optical surface as
like on a TV screen, this is not practical to polish out. In any case, you
will end up having to replace the screen to fix it properly.
