de-scratchifying an lcd

[fez]

so i have a small lcd display, 2.5 inches i think. i found it recently and it works fine, the only problem is it has a small scratch right on the screen. its not really a problem, its just a bit irritating. i was wondering if there were any way to fix it, some sort of paste or something i looked on the interent and couldnt find anything too specific...

its a tft screen by the way

help wold be appreciated

2.5 inches. Is this a cell phone? or a pda?

I would think 2.5 inches would have to be a cell phone! I would hope that a PDA has a screen bigger than 2.5 inches.

Just get another LCD.

psh...its an lcd from a portable tv which i had no use for. so i salvaged the lcd, two pots and the switch, antenna etc. all i really want to do is hook it up...as a novelty item, nothing serious.
i figure i can live with it

well, you could get some diamond sand paper, and rub down the upper glass to make the scratch disppear, or you could buy a new one ;)

haha...sandpaper...

someone told me to use a silk tie...i wonder if it works

[thoriphes]

I also heard from a while back that toothpaste is also good.

you can get some of that really fine sand paper (that kind that has to be wet) and take that scratch out.
