scratched new tv

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Im gutted ive manage to put a big scratch on the screen of my new tv im really fuming with my self. Ive never ever damaged any of my sets before.

Worst thing was the mrs didnt shout at me

Cool Story Bro

How did you scratch it? Was smoking of weed involved

[Scabutz]

For years I had a stty CRT that I kept saying I would replace with a new massive flat screen when it broke. It never did. Eventually I gave in and bought one anyway. A week later my daughter, about 3 at the time, polished the screen with an Emery board.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

ouch no smoking involved managed to catch it when moving it from another room

[hyphen]

Is it noticeable when TV is on? Or it when off.

House insurance accident cover?

If you put 'scratched tv repair' into a searh engine, there some suggestions/youtube videos.

Maybe worth looking through them, if no accident insurance.

[anonymous-user]

That’s a bit of a poo!

As said it might be worth having a go to fix if you’ve not got accidental damage cover on your content insurance.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Yeah have accidental damage cover never had to claim on anything before.:s

Which way did the scratch go, did it remove some of the screen surface or did it deposit some of the painted door frame/banister/item you scuffed it on ?

If its left the mark on the tv screen then it might polish off with a mild cutting compound.

[tribalsurfer]

Give it a good buff with toothpaste.

[HustleRussell]

Wouldn’t polish or buff it with anything assuming the screen doesn’t have a glossy finish?

And then see about fixing the scratch on your TV.

I'd have a go with a dab of polywatch unless it's an absolute gouge.

its basically taken off some of the anti reflective coating and things im sure toothpaste will be as effective as a brillo pad

I once scratched the screen on my TV while decorating, i used a pencil eraser on the scratch and although it didnt remove it completely it made it a LOT less noticeable.

Damaged is the term.
