• improving appearance of scratches in laptop LCD screen

    From jkn@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 16 05:35:52 2022
    Hi all
    as per the subject, really. I have recently bought a laptop via eBay which is otherwise as advertised, but has a couple of small-ish scratches on the
    screen. I am a bit of a picky b*gger at times, and these are going to
    annoy me a little...

    I am in courteous discussions with the seller but wondered if anyone had
    any experience with improving the appearance of this sort of fault.
    There are all sorts of shonky 'fixes' out there, most of which I wouldn't
    go near with a bargepole...

    Thanks for any advice
    J^n

    If the problems really bother you I'd take a look on YouTube on how to
    replace the entire screen.

    Now a days you can usually find a step-by-step video showing you how to
    do this based on your laptop's brand and model.

    One other benefit is that for most laptops the replacement screen can be
    had with a glossy or matte finish. It really just depends on how much
    you want to pay to have the perfect looking display and if you can
    follow the applicable YouTube instructions.

    A cheaper and easier alternative would be to try one of those monitor
    protector stick-on screens, similar to those used on most cell phones
    these days.
