    Scratch on my new Monitor

    Title is pretty self-explanatory. Was wondering if there was a way to fix it, or if Im better off trying to get ASUS (its an ASUS monitor) to repair it for me? Its not a very large scratch, not even an inch long, but its in an inconvenient spot.

    Depends if it's just a little scratch or a huge gouge in the panel... If you can, I'd say get them to fix/replace it for you, it's a lot less hassle and it means you don't have to spend any money on pricey cleaning kits for repairing scratches.

    Protip: Say it was damaged in shipping/packaging. For example, the box had a hole in it, or the power plug was loose in the box and was next to the monitor when you opened it.

    When you make it sound like their fault they are usually prompt in fixing it.

    BTW how did it get there in the first place?

    I dont have a real desk, so the comp sits next to my couch. I was putting the keyboard on top of the tower, which is infront of the monitor, and hit it just so. It really wasnt even a good smack, I guess I just got a bad angle cause the keyboard has edges.

    It wasnt a big scratch so I did a google search and came up with the vaseline fix. Its worked well enough so I may end up just living with a few little specks instead of a nice black gash.
