:shock: :shock: :shock: OK, my ten year old son made me a birthday card on a big sheet of construction paper with black permanent magic marker (Sharpie) and leaned the "card" up against my one-month old 2405FPW. It wasn't dry yet. Thankfully, there as only one spot left on the monitor. Dead center about the size of a grain of rice. You can imagine my shock and surprise. I took some 90% alcohol and a Q-Tip to it. It came right off (thank God). Thought I would post here with this fix in case it ever happens to anyone else. I know I was sweating bullets thinking that I had an eyesore for the next 6 years and would see it everytime I used this monitor. The alcohol not only took it off, but it didn't hurt the LCD finish either. After I got the marker out I used some iKlear Apple Polish purchased at The Apple Store and it is good as new! -scaryogre |

LOL... oh man, that must have been NASTY. I'm glad you got it clean though. The worst damage you can do to an LCD is with a compass. :cry: Nothing recovers from a hole. |

A wiffle ball won't do them much good either. My 3 year old and I were having a little batting practice in the house. Now my 17 in LG has a crack in the screen from top to bottom. Oops Pooldoc |
