on 10/3/2007 Ok for all of you people in the Uk heres a tip - If you have a scratch in the anti glare coating on the monitor, you should get some of "Marks & Spencers" 'Hard Anodised Cleaner' It is in a grey plastic tub, I know it gets sold in the packs when you buy their saucepans but I believe it can be bought separate too. Its basically a paste and has the consistency of wet plaster (Gypsum).
On the container it says do not use on glass saucepan lids - I cant see why not - I took off a layer of film with this by gently rubbing it in with my finger tips for about 2 minutes all over the screen. gently sponged it off with tap water and constant mopping with paper towels seems to have caused no damage whatsoever to the glass - no visual noise on the screen at all -
for fine polishing the scratches that are deeper use toothpaste - the white sort (the gel types are no good )
and persistently rub wit

on 9/8/2007 I read MTM Mom's comment about using a soft cloth with a little bit of water & then softly using a pencil eraser to clean permanent marker off my 19 inch flat screen computer monitor. I'm SOOO excited!! It worked, no scratches & no more marker (which was courtesy of my 5 year old sneaking into my den).

on 7/13/2007 The anti-glare film on my sony plasma got spotty and I wanted to remove the rest of it. I tried a variety of products before trying "aluminum polish". It did a great job, the film came off quickly, and the glass was not scratched or mared in the process. It looks great again.
