Samsung screen filter removal

Hi
The story is my Samsung plasma got a small scratch in it so i thought i would polish it out with t-cut like i do with great affect on cd and dvds, but silly me didn't bother to do any research into it so now i know there is a filter on the screen as i have rubbed some of it away so the question is what can i use to get all the filter off easily as i don't fancy doing the full 50" screen with t-cut as i probably won't get into the corners and edges fully ?

Re: Samsung screen filter removal

To be honest mate, I'd leave the rest of it.
You may as well just ruin a small part, rather than all of it.

Re: Samsung screen filter removal

White Spirit?
Do you really want to remove it all? Its there for a reason.
Why not contact Samsung, they may have a solution for you.

Hi I'm sure the screen filter is just a plastic film placed over the glass a bit like when you get your car windows tinted ,so it should just peel off.A lot of ps64d8000 owners have been having problems with their filters bubbling
