New tv

Any attempt to remove the scratch will remove the oleophobic coating and other tops layers of the glass, nothing you can do.

Think of it like buying a brand new car. You park at the empty end of the lot, trying to protect it from some asshole denting it with their door, obsessing over any marks from rock chips or whatever. Eventually you’ll just accept it for what it is and move on. The first blemish is always the hardest. Unlike a car though, it won’t buff out, at least without damaging the coating on the glass, as other have pointed out.

Now it’s scratched so you can just relax and enjoy wearing it without obsessing. It’s not a Rolex, it’s wearable technology that will only serve you for a few years typically. No big deal at all.

Not sure about removing the scratch, I know there are products out there that claim to do this but I couldn’t vouch for any of them. What I can recommend is getting a wet-install screen protector that adapts to the curvature of the screen. With it installed, you won’t be able to see the scratch and it will prevent any further scratches. Those screen protectors take patience to install properly, but once done correctly, you won’t even be able to tell it has one one.

Scratches like that and on the body are just part of watch ownership. My most expensive watch has scuffs on it just like my cheapest one. It tells the story of where you been and what you do, unless the screen cracks or is suuuuupper deep just enjoy the watch.

My Hermes watch has scuffs all over it, such is life

Try eraser first. I believe most TV screens don't use glass, they use a flexible plastic so it is easy to transport the TV while it flexes in transport.

Unfortunately, the compromise is that this plastic film won't be as hard as glass. And some of those pencil marks will remain for good. The only option to completely undo the damage is to get the film replaced by the company, if they even do such a thing. And if they don't, a reputed service centre might, but you'll most likely lose warranty.

Kids are expensive.

And what about the tv?

I use toothpaste. Works great on watches too!

Try buffing with Polywatch. (Usually used to buff out scratches in watch mineral crystal). A little tube is pretty cheap on Amazon.

I wonder if it still has the peel off film on it? That happened to me once.

It looks like you've scratched up the temporary film, not the screen itself.

Is it just smearing? If it's smearing, use less cleaner each pass. Too much cleaner dries funny.

ALSO, if you're using a cloth towel, you can not have used fabric softener in the wash/dryer. Fabric softener puts a coating on the towel and then causes smearing instead of absorbing. Wash towels with a good splash of vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser.

The best cleaner for TVs, laptops, keyboards, mice that I use is Sprayway Glass Cleaner and Invisible Glass Cleaner. They are ammonia free and plastic safe. I am in IT and use them every day on these things.

Micro fiber cloth, and never spray anything directly on the screen spray it on the cloth.

Don’t use tap water you need distilled water a spray bottle and a microfibre cloth

Use a very lightly damp cloth and wipe it off with a clean microfiber - use another one same thing. My guess is it was so dusty the cleaner gooped up. You would have to do it several times i think

Curious - do you remember the brand you used? Many screen cleaners have a buff and polish process that will leave a film. Hope you got it fixed!

Toothpaste won’t do a thing, neither will rubbing compound. You need cerium oxide and preferably a felt polishing pad. Oscillating tool is ideal, but you could use a drill or buffing tool.

I also have a matte monitor from Benq and to clean fingerprints or such things, I use the little cloth which came with my eye-glasses and the cleaning solution came with them. You can try on a very small portion, if haven’t tried yet.

All the best

If this is the samsung frame please use microfibre cloth and clean it gently by covering small areas. Do not apply any liquids as it may damage the matte screen call the service centre guys although if the screen is damaged unfortunately it won’t be covered in warranty as it is “physical damage”. Ps : you made a big mistake getting a matte screen tv. They are a pain in the backend to maintain. Good luck

This cleaner is really good on screens. Always spray directly on the cloth and not the screen. Wipe it down and go back over it with a clean dry cloth.

Brand new microfibre cloth and distilled water. The distilled water avoids hard water stains on the glass.

Do a final wipe with lightly damp white vinegar and then wipe dry

I've always just used baby wipes on mine and never had any problems.

1st and foremost make sure TV screen, is off and is cool to touch. I use, a mix of vinegar and water ( equal parts) then a smooth microfiber cloth ( typed for eye glasses ) to dry off

I work with a lot of super high gloss stuff. By the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be deep scratches. What I can recommend is Meguiar's M8532 Mirror Glaze Diamond Cut Compound. I use this on a daily basis to remove scratches from tabletops to chair legs. get a 100% cotton rag and ball it up into itself so that its smooth on one side. Put a dime size amount of compound on the the rag and start wiping the scratches in a circular motion. If you have the means and want to invest in a buff machine you can use that to. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or need me to go more into detail. Good luck!

Sharpie.

You really got both ends of the spectrum for advice on this one
