Crt monitors experts needed

[Final_Solution]

Here is my story, 2 years ago I bought a beautiful viewsonic p95f+ I really appreciate this screen. A week ago or so one of my stupid familly member scratched my monitor real bad ( if I ever find out who did this he is a dead man).

I believe the coating is scratched but not the glass underneath. I did my research and I think there is no way to repair such dammage but I also found out that some people suggested to use somekind of windshield liquid scratch fix kit and car wax...sound crazy I know.

But since tomshardware's community is skilled Id like to an your opinion and advice on my problem. Shall I just buy a new one or there is a way to reduce the visibility of those scratch.

Ho by the way I tried one of thoses pre-moistened wipes that are designed for cleaning lcd crt scanner etc and it did absolutly no good.

I also emailed viewsonic's support and they told me to verify with an authorized repair center? Do you think they could do any good.

If the anti-glare anti-static coating is scratched badly, you could remove it from the entire screen, but I'm not sure how.

I keep seeing that stuff on tv that is made to fill in scraches on glasses, maybe that would work on a monitor? I have no idea if that would do it but I guess it is worth a shot if that stuff isn't expensive.
If it is under warranty you should be able to send it in for repair/replacement.
The antireflective coating is a thin layer of plastic like stuff on the tube and it can be peeled off. It will probably look worse w/o it than it does with it on and scrached.
