Any suggestions for removing a scratch from my monitor?

Hey pimps!

During a recent move, my monitor was slghtyly scratched. I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions for removing the offending mark. It is not a deep scratch, but rather a smal, 1" surface scratch. Is there some way I can buff this damn thing off? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If your talking a glass crt monitor I also would like to know how to buff it out somehow..

I am indeed reffering to a glass, CRT monitor. I have a 19" ViewSonic P95f+

the scratch IS on the glass or IS NOT on the glass?

I wouldn't care if the scratch weren't on the glass.

The glass repair kits that actually work, cost way more than the cost of replacing the monitor, but here a a couple of links in case your interested or just curious.

Also, they say if the scratch is deep enough to catch your finger nails as you go over it, polishing won't work.

Those are cool links never heard of this before.

My scratch is not deep enough to catch my nail, it is very small, but still noticable. The links provided are interesting, but quite expensive, indeed. Anyone else have any suggestions?
