Is there any remedy for fixing scratches on big screen tvs? it is a rear projection tv, the replacement screen is 460 bucks from JVC, i can just replace that if i need to but i would rather try to make the scratch less noticeable...
it feels pretty deep but i cant really tell, it mainly took the anti glare off i think, please help i just want to minimize it if at all possible Thanks Brandon

Really nothing you can do that won't mar the surface further.
You could try someone who does plastic fabrication / welding.
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.

throw it in the dumpster and buy a Protron, nerd.
