I want to remove the anti glare/static coating from my monitor. Its a Samsung 763dfx. The glass below should not get damaged in the process.

What would do the trick?
 
Great question! When you find out, let me know!

Film coatings can sometimes be pealed, but I have a nice monitor laying around here with a sprayed-on coating that's warn away in several places from years of cleaning, it's so streaky I can't find anyone to use it.

The antiglare screen on my neighbors samsung 19" just peeled off, it was like a plastic layer on the screen. Just made a little exacto knife slice around the edge and it just peeled right off.

Goof Off might take sprayed on antiglare off. That stuff is strong :)

if its an expensive monitor like sony its relatively easy you just cut the film with a blade and then pill it off it takes anywhere from 20-40 minutes, try to heat it up with a hair dryer it helps a lot

if its pain your screwed, i work on my current dell monitor now for over 10 hours , nothing seem to work good enough, not ever sand paper, poly super stripe gel pain and vanish remover helps a bit but not enough... i might start using power polisher with sand paper but i have a feeling this monitor will end up in the dumbster
