I have a panny with scratched glass from mu lil one. I tried to clean/polish it and now some of the antiglare tint has come off as well. plasma screen is fine just outer glass. I have service manual. I am wondering if I can a) have the antiglare tint completely removed and the scratches polished out, or b) replace the glass with a piece cut somewhere locally. panasonic wants 607.00 for this piece of glass. otherwise tv is flawless
I suppose the glass is a tempered glass? I have a 50PZ700A, that's what mine is. It will really get messy when cutting back the non reflective coating and then cutting back the glass ie. damage to glossy bezel (which will be an eye sore), the fine particles getting spread everywhere. If it is severe enough I would tend to purchase the purpose cut glass from Panasonic. The other issue is that once you install it not to get dust and rubbish get caught in the air gap between the plasma screen and glass.
Sorry, not much help.
Just an aside where abouts did you get the service manual?
