was cleaning monitor last night....damp cloth only...fine no probs.

came across a bit that wouldnt come off right in the center.....

FOOLISHLY i tryed to scrap it GENTLY/LIGHTLY off with a blunt instrument....

aye - you know whats coming dont ya ? :rolleyes:
bloody big scratch right down the center of my monitor - about 1" long :mad:

feel like a right rodney plonker for doing this - i know better to, thats the thing :rolleyes:.
was late in the small hrs - ( couldnt sleep again )

i heard it can be fixed with vasline lol - is it true ? :tongue:

but on the other hand.......

Been browsing monitors myself (as you've probably gathered). I love the idea of these crazy things: http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/e2251fwu Both power and video via the same USB cable. No power cable, no VGA cable, just USB.

I wonder what they're like in practice?
