I have a Sony 46 inch and it got a scratch on the vinyl (I think that's what they said it's made from) screen during a move. It's about 4 inches in length going down, but it's very, very thin. From a distance it looks like there is a white streak, maybe like wax or something you can wipe off. But you can't, it's a scratch.
The lighter the picture is (sunny day on a program) and you can't tell it's there, but as it progressively gets darker it's more and more noticeable. In a night scene it can be very annoying, but it just happened and I may even not notice it much after a while as the scratch is pretty far to the right.
Cicruit City couldn't have been less helpful only telling me to live with it or buy a new one for $400, which is about one third of buying a new big screen tv.
Is there anything that anyone knows of to make this less noticeable? I realize there is no "buy the book" remedy and no way to get the scratch gone, but has anyone tried anything that worked that simply lessened how much you noticed a scratch?
It's such a thin scratch that if it were covered in any way to make the whiteness of the scratch less apparent, I don't think I'd have a problem living with it until the time comes for a new tv.
If anyone has ANY suggestions (other than "you're shit out of luck, cause I'm already feeling kind of down about it), please let me know.
Thank you.
