Well, they sell stuff for chipped windshields at auto-parts stores that you could likely use on a monitor and it would work just the same i'd guess.

i dont hink that will work because there is a speciual coating on the screen for anti glare

how small is it? I hav a very tiny mark which really annoyed me for a few days - now I hardly notice. kinda like trinitron monitors - you get used to the 2 wires, or at least stop getting distracted by them after a while.

not small enough to get used too.. and this is a trinitron, i still notice the lines but they never did bother me..

Is the "chip" in the glass or is it in the coating?

I say its time for a new monitor................ J/K I believe what they fill windshields with works because its really two layers of sandwiched glass and it manages make something glaringly bad much less annoying. But the background of the monitor is backlit by the video output so I don't think you will ever get it to be completely not noticable short of doing glasswork and then polishing and recoating the entire screen.

But any kind of clear drying epoxy might make it less noticeable (but if it bends the light different than glass it might be even more annoying). You could also try clear nailpolish, but beware the coating can be harmed by any harsh chemical. I might just find me some polish (like what they sell to reduce the scratches on cd's and rub a little in and hope it lessens it enough to not bother you anymore. It would really suck if you made it worse by trying to fix it though.

Be careful with applying a polymer to the glass! It has a higher refractive index and can make that chip really stand out! Put a little drop of water on the front of your monitor once, its convex shape acts as a small aspheric collimator and provides a few x magnifcation! It's enough to see the individual dots on the crt and will stick out like a bloody thumb!

Cheers!
