So I want to update everyone. I recently got two screen cleaners from a local store. It's a Mexican brand as far as I know called Steren and they had two screen cleaners and well... It worked like a charm. My guess is that the micro scratches were not micro scratches but just left overs of the Anti Reflective Coating. It is now fully glass like finish. I have attached a video showing how it looks with both the Xbox Series X and the PC. Please keep in mind the phone camera blows the brightness a little bit as my window reflected in the TV is not THAT bright but I think it shows the end result pretty well! Thanks to all the suggestions I appreciate it. VID-20240331-WA0001.mp4

My costly mistake is an experiment. I have the money and I can buy another TV like this if I wanted to. But now I'm seriously thinking twice about it due to this "coating" they have that can easily be damaged by just cleaning it with water and a microfiber cloth vs just an actual glass that I've spotted on some OLEDs that is most likely more resistant than this. I am using this TV to look for a possible solution someone else can follow as there are complaints about the same problem in Samsung forums but no solution and I have a similar model on another room where an accident with maybe family visits or anything else can lead to another scratch. This is what it seems to be uncharted territory since everyone would say "apply warranty" or take it to an official Samsung repair shop for an expensive repair close to the value of a new TV (I checked). If I am most likely already going to spend money then at least I can have some fun with it and learn something and share it.

Ok I never thought of that. You might be onto something, there is probably something that is very fine and can create that glass finish. I've seen videos showing how awesome some shops can do the paint of a car to the point is a mirror. Thank you!

By the way just to make this clear. I do NOT recommend doing this as it is experimental and couldn't find an actual thread on how to remove scratches from a screen m besides Vaseline (which doesn't work), paint thinner, magic eraser (couldn't find it in Mexico I think), etc. Thanks

Clearly someone that failed to read the story. How is it "fudged" if it works completely fine? It is clarified in the text. Can I please get some actual insights instead of useless comments such as this? Thank you community.

Long read so be ready: I use my TV as the display for my media PC and sometimes I laugh, caugh or sneeze or talk and I leave small drops of saliva in the screen. After cleaning the screen with a microfiber cloth microfiber cloth (same used to clean eye glasses) and water, there was a stain in it that turned out to be either the Anti Reflective Coating of it or the Ultra Viewing Angle layer being removed. It was pretty visible when the TV was off or it was displaying fully black content with any other source of light in the room. I got this TV because of the great black levels it can produce and how bright it is for living rooms. I decided I would rather take consistency than keeping it the way it was and I tried different types of materials to rub the layer out, from softest to roughest. The one that gave me the best result was Paper Towels, the same you most likely use in the kitchen to clean stuff. It was taking way too much time and a lot of elbow grease so I actually used a polishing machine and put paper towels in the disc to complete the task. The result is a super glassy finish which I really like a lot. However, not everything is great because under some heavy heavy light you can see some micro scratches that look like smudge. It is not noticeable in a regular use but I can't take my mind off it and would like to finish the job with great success. I am thinking on either applying an oleophobic coating to the entire TV or buy another antireflective/protective film to get rid of the micro scratches. Similar to when the glue of the protective film of a phone fills the gaps created by a scratch with your nail due to a lot of use. I wanted to know if someone has applied an oleophobic coating in something big like an iPad or a table to know if it's feasible in a 50 inch TV and maintain a consistent application without more stains, smudges or something like that or if someone has any other recommendation. I will add pictures that show the 1.- Half way done process with napkins and hand work. 2.- Finished job while playing Warzone that show it's almost impossible to see 3.- Me polishing the actual screen in case you have any doubt. 4.- Picture with flash showing the "smudges" I hope someone from Linus Tech Tips team sees this and thinks of it as a great project for a video. Crazy ways or ways to remove a scratch from your screen and compare results.

What about an LG G4 guys?

Guys so I'm going to give my current phone (in a contract) to a friend of mine, and I will get a new phone with Iusacell (Now AT&T I'm Mexico). I was planning to get a Galaxy S5 or S6 in case the first wasn't available and it turns out that both are out of stock. Out of the choices I've been given I can get a Moto X Play or a Samsung Galaxy J7 right now, but I want to know how good is the phone. I have used: Blackberry Curve 8520 Motorola Droid 1 Motorols Droid 3 Galaxy S3 Huawei Ascend G7 (the one I'm giving to my friend) I consider myself a power user but I don't root or use custom roms. I will probably emulate stuff in it and Game a lot on it. I like to know performance, battery, RAM usage and build quality. Thanks in advance guys.

My daughter needs a really simple PC for school and this would be great for her. Hope i win.

I actually like all the products from the giveaway. The power supply is more than enough for a really good gaming PC and it's silent wich is something really handy when in comes to gaming at night on the same room that your bed is... And your wife sleeping (my case). The fans will improve the cooling while making less noise. The case is actually pretty and I love side Windows (got to show the guts of the beast). The water cooling would also help a lot to keep the noise down as well as temperatures and when my wife is at work or something I could crank the voltages up and overclock my CPU to something more than my actual OC on a Hyper 212+. The headphones would be really come handy for me at those night gaming sessions, I have a 5.1 connected to the PC but thats not an option when your wife is sleeping(like I mention before). It might sound strange but what I like the most is the Accent lighting kit, because I really like blue lights and accents but everything that comes with LED lights is either expensive, bad or not really what I'm looking for, I right now have some blue LED fans from Cooler Master and even tough they look awesome the noise they produce is awful, even at the lowest speed possible. I really wish I could win this kit

I loved the use of aluminum in almost all the phone. My Galaxy S3 is good but it does feel very cheap even though it's supposed to be a high end phone. The M8 does look like a high end phone, has great aesthetics and the front speakers are an excellent addition! No more using your hands to get sound from the back speakers of your phone.
