How do you fix a scratch on a big screen?

Question

Ok I have a toshiba 65' widescreen rear projection t.v.. When I was moving a piece of the screen was not wrapped properly and was scratched. (on the back side of the screen). Is there anyway of fixing it at least to make the scratch unnoticeable while I am watching it, I have no money to buy a new one and it would seem like such a waste since this one is perfectly fine (other than the scratch).

Answer 1

The screen can not be "fixed", it has to be replaced. The screen that is. and it's not cheap either. figure about $300 - 400 minimum, including labor.

Answer 2

Is it the screen itself or the protective screen that is scratched.  If it's the protective screen, then you can just remove that, but be warned the lenticular screen is now prone to scratches from kids, dogs or a clumsy significant other.  But if you feel comfortable with noone bumping into it, then you can remove the protective screen and actually get a better picture quality with no glare.

If it's the actual lenticular screen (one behind the protective screen) then your screwed and it will cost a pretty penny to get fixed.  You can switch it out yourself once you buy a new one, but have two people handy, the instructions on how to replace should be in the owners manual.
