How To Fix A Scratched Screen

[@artistmac]

What also works: Black acrylic paint, diluted so that it's translucent. With a fine, thin brush, paint the translucent black paint into the crack. Not perfect by any means (solid black images look gray at the scratch, and so do solid light images) but better than the blazing white of the unpainted scratch. And for a smooth repair, paint it on the scratch when the screen is horizontal. 😢

[@dr_bodling]

wow this actually worked. Was about to sell my TV thinking the scratch was too deep to repair. Awesome!

[@davidanthonybatten9150]

Why sell it if its knackered?

How dose the stand have anything to do with fixing scratches on a screen?

Worked like a charm. Toothpaste (not gel) and moisturizer or lubricant.

[@gm2161]

Thank you should I try this on my new car 2020? I scratched the screen .

[@yvetterenee8256]

Thank you! It was fast and easy. But, I think it's best to use a microfiber cloth.

[@beardalaxy]

Dude, you're hilarious. I haven't tried this to see if it'll work but this video was hilarious.

[@elektron2kim666]

It's not easy. I think it will be 100 days of short bursts of action before I see a good result. My scratch is on a 4:3 screen on a retro computer that wasn't supposed to work and it's a "Vincent van Gogh" to me right now. It seems safe, though.

[@TechKyle]

Sounds like a lot of work. Hopefully it will work, retro computers are awesome.

IT ACTUALLY WORKED I'M SO AMAZED THANK YOU

i used the gel toothpaste and now my screen has a real minty shine to it, smells way fresher now too.

Happy to see young person with interest and passion talking about tech problem and trying to figure out remedy.

Crest 3d whitening toothpaste and a microfiber towel removed a medium scratch on my sceptre monitor perfectly.

[@Sabrsulab]

I understand why he's saying sandpaper is a no-go, but I don't like this method either. He's telling us that the grit of the toothpaste cannot exceed fine gritted sandpaper? Instead of this method, use a variable speed buffing wheel with a light buffing compound. You can operate as hot or cool as you'd like and while both methods remove material, the compounds used for buffing are designed for light abrasions like this. Toothpaste has variable, unmarked grits. They also make buffer wheels for dremel and you can use one as a drill attachment, although you may not get the required drive speed if you do. All-in-all, there are people suggesting that you do the toothpaste method for a lot of different, potentially expensive, household items and using the buffer it is easier to monitor progress, just make sure you're leaning the wheel into the cut (filling the hole back in with as much plastic as possible). What this guy doesn't explain is that for fine-grit applications, they don't use sandpaper, but transition into compounds that have equivalent grits labeled on the container. If you tried the method outlined by the content creator and it scuffed the screeb, you can also use buffing to finish the process and smooth the screen back out. If it over-polishes the surface, use rubbing alcohol to remove the compound once the resurfacing process is complete.

It surprised me how well that worked.

[@TechKyle]

It actually completely surprised me too, which I'm really glad of :D

It didnt fully work but it did remove most of the scratches on my screen overall a 7/10 tip

Works perfect even in the year 2022!!

Ur just going to scratch the Screen more using Paper Towels, especially the cheaper ones.

[@chikin52]

Cheap paper towels are called rocks

[@randall6959]

hi! not sure if u will see this comment but does this method work on the plastic border?

[@TechKyle]

Hi! This method should work decently well on plastic bezels/ borders. They are most of the time of harder plastics, but with toothpaste only you should get a pretty decent result. If you want better results you can try with some more professional anti-scratch paste(s). Good luck!

[@randall6959]

Tech Kyle thank you very much!

[@TechKyle]

You're welcome!

[@engjds]

No, you need special border toothpaste, ask your dentist.

it worked for me too

[@TechKyle]

Great to hear! Glad it worked.

[@hodatarek119]

thanks for sharing ...my screen fell on the table then it's black with some random colored lines no views ...is there any hope toothpaste can solve this so it can get back to work again ?? thanks waiting for a quick reply as you know how it 's like when you stay with no tv screen !! thanks

[@TechKyle]

Hi, I'm really sorry to say, but I'm afraid toothpaste won't fix this. It sounds like your screen is broken, and if the screen itself is cracked it may be more affordable to get a new one

[@hodatarek119]

@@TechKyle thanks for your reply ... sorry to hear that seems I have 2

[@svenlovescheaters6699]

So i tryed it on my screen with the same toothpaste as you use but it did not work at all? I did use a fibre colth insted but i woulden't imagen that whould change the result? Do you have any other idas or should i just try agin (I have tryed 2 times and my scratch is a lot smaller then the one you had)

[@danielbras5123]

It could be a very small crack in which no amount of polishing can buff it out

[@pentuplove6542]

Thankyou.

with a paper towel LOL

The good thing is when the tv is on you won see the scratch

I have marks not THIS HELP HELP

Can i use al toothpaste

[@carlnikolov]

This video is wayyy long. Try toothpaste and a microfiber cloth circular motions wipe it off Don't have to watch this now

[@kellysackett3321]

This method seems to be hit or miss when I researched it. Our tv had a very small discoloration and we had a TV repair man come out to fix it. The repair man was several hours late. He didn't fix our problem. Instead he horribly scratched the screen when he was working on it and now we are thinking of either fixing it or replacing it. But these methods will be used last if repair products don't work.

[@calvin3604]

no it does not work

[@ylmazkorac760]

Nothing work guys,dont waste your time.Scracthes still there,especialy if your scratch is in the middle of the monitor,you can see it evrytime.Either accept it or get another monitor. There's nothing else to do.

[@kevinretirado4678]

mine didnt work

this does not work i just used up my toothpaste

Thats because you are supposed to rub the scratch, not brush your teeth a hundred times.

use vaseline it worked for me. its way less noticible

Why did you waste peoples time talking about crap that wasn't related to the actual subject like the stupid monitor stand & you'd be better off using "Solvol Autosol" metal polishing compound.
