A rear projection TV screen is as vulnerable to scratches as the screen on a computer monitor or cell phone. To repair a scratch on a rear projection TV screen, fill it in and render it invisible. You will need only a few household products, but no special tools. Thus, you will avoid a trip to a service center, and lost time and money having the screen replaced.
Instructions
1. Blow off the screen with compressed air. Place an edge of the microfiber cloth against the left side or bottom of the scratch, depending upon whether it is horizontal or vertical.
2. Move the edge of the microfiber cloth to the other side of the scratch to remove loose dust or other environmental debris. Blow off the scratch with compressed air.
3. Dip the cotton swab in the petroleum jelly. Place the moistened end of the cotton swab a half inch or so to the left or bottom of the scratch, depending upon whether it is horizontal or vertical.
4. Press down gently on the cotton swab while moving it across the length of the scratch. Remove the cotton swab when you are about a half inch or so past the end of the scratch.

6. Press down gently while moving the microfiber cloth to the other side of the scratch. Remove the cloth when you are about a half-inch past the end of the scratch. Blow off the scratch with compressed air.
