I am getting an NEWTON 2100 and it probably has some scratch marks on the screen. Anyone know of anything that will SAFELY help to remove those scratches. I have heard about this NOVUS stuff, but am worried it will do more harm than it is worth. Any thoughts?

thanks

its best to live with it. many times messing with stuff like that only makes it worse. the only ways i could think of removing scratches is by buffing down the surface, or by filling in the groove. either way, theres a large chance of making things worse.

don't know if this is true... but someone told me that on small scratches.... Toothpaste works wonders... was told that by an optomotrist... and I aint joking... though to prevent scratches in the fi\uture ... try a protective film

yea, toothpaste is a buffing compound, as it contains an abrasive material. so be wary.
