I looked around online and found some positive commentary on this product:

If they're just light scratches, this will probably work for you. If they are deep scratches though, you might have to replace the screen.

And if you have to replace the screen, might as well get a new one. Unlike replacing the backlight, the screen is the core of the unit (sans video processing).

You pretty much won't be able to, so as others here have mentioned you may have to get another tv because lcd panels are super expensive to replace. If the scratch is not that noticeable then just try to ignore it until you're able to get another tv.

Wait.. scratch remover? A scratch is when something is removed.. so how do you remove a scratch? Lol..I am guessing this actually fills in the hole of the scratch.

It doesn't quite fill it in completely. I've used this on a laptop LCD and came out pretty good.

If you got it at Sears, and got the warranty with it ...they do cover cosmetics for the first two years. If that's the case try calling them first.

Smallville206 · 09-07-2007, 05:09 PM

I cringe just hearing your story.

rule #1: If you have young kids..DO NOT...I repeat DO NOT get an lcd.

just wait until they throw a toy at the lcd next time.

if my kids ever throw something at my TV, you will hear about me in the news!

That's actually a bit scary.

I can see it now....

"I local man launched his children into outer-space bare-handed today. In a press interview he acknowledged that space exploration has been a punishment in his family for generations, usually inflicted only when his children 'threw something at [his] TV'. Apparently this is not the first incident, as last time his oldest son threw a baseball through a window and spent several weeks hovering above the planet before landed safely on top Mount McKinley. There is no word yet how long his children will be stranded in orbit."

maybe I should write for the Onion.

WickyWoo · 09-07-2007, 08:03 PM

I think the moral is

"If you do have young children, invest in a screen protector", or buy a warranty that covers acts of toddler

mikevommit · 09-07-2007, 08:15 PM

to replace the lcd panel will cost more then to just buy a new tv

spam.curitiba · 09-07-2007, 08:52 PM

yah I almost bought a 52" sony lcd but the sales rep asked if i had any kids....and he then showed me some pictures of someone that had a lcd for two weeks and what is looked like after the kid threw a toy at it....I decided instead of paying 5k for a tv I would get the 60" sony rear projection tv.
