So i spilled water all over my mechanical keyboard and in the process of drying it I accidentally hit the monitor with my keyboard and now there is a scratch that you can barely feel with your nail and I was wondering whether there are any methods of fixing this because even though its a minor scratch it pisses me off

In the monitor? I heard that toothpaste will work, but someone needs to confirm that. So don't try it yet.

I've also heard of a clean eraser for buffing them out, as well.

That sounds good, I would use a soft one first.
