Do you have an LCD screen for your computer monitor? Whether it be a laptop or a desktop monitor they are nice to have but they can easily be damaged if something happens to strike them. The most common accidents are scratches and these often can happen without you realising it so how can you get rid of them?

To begin, clean off the surface of your screen with a soft piece of cloth then the best thing to do is use some petroleum jelly ( similar to Vaseline ) to fill in the scratch. The Vaseline's density matches better to the LCD material than anything else so it will fill in all of the gaps more efficiently. Just rub some on the scratch and then wipe off any excess. Don't press too hard when you're doing that though - you just want to make sure some of the Vaseline remains there.

There are many ideas on how to fix a scratch on an LCD screen and this method seems to work about the best out of all the other suggestions but it is possible it will not work for you. Just be very careful and make sure you get enough of the jelly inside the scratch. If you do that it should work perfectly and the scratch will vanish forever. If it does not seem to work for you, just use a cloth to clean the Vaseline off the screen.
