I'm not sure how, but I have a few small scratches only one is visible without shinning a light on it and really only if you know where to look
Anyways has anyone had any luck removing small scratches
Maybe clear nail polish would do the trick...
Though some people have said that a screen protector makes them less visible
Thoughts?

So I have a couple light scratches on my screen. No more then ½ inch long. Is there a known home remedy to remove them?

So on the middle if the screen when I apply some force, I notice that it creates a rippling effect. Its similar to when you push hard enough on a calculator screen, it does the same effect. So is this normal or should I return it?

This will happen to any lcd/led/plasma screen. It is more noticeable near the middle on larger displays (than a phone) as the screen cover bends more easily there than around the edge.
Why would you apply force to a touch screen?
Well honestly, I didn't even apply too much force at all. I only noticed it while wiping it down with a cloth. So if this happens with every screen, this however, did not happen to my touchpad. But I'll just take your word for it...

No, just cleaning your screen (gently!) should not cause these rippling effects. Neither should normally applied force do. If that's the case, it's a defective one; return it.

Remember - Gorilla Glass 2 is much thinner that the original - so it would take less force to cause it to flex - maybe that's why you are seeing on the TF700 using the same amount of pressure (and didn't see it on the Playbook)... Assuming that the Playbook doens't also use Gorilla Glass 2 (I'm not sure)...
My recommendation would just not apply that much force when cleaning it!

I applied enough force on my screen (in the middle) to break a heavy duty plastic spoon (the big clear type) and don't have that.
Well, with that being said. I'll be exchanging the tablet for the fourth freaking time! I guess I'm just unlucky with this kind of stuff.

OK, thanks for that. It was like having that big red button with a sign saying 'do not press', just couldn't resist
So after reading your post I couldn't help myself. Pressed on the center of my screen a little harder than usual and sure enough, there's the ripple effect. Only, after trying it a couple more times it left behind almost like finger smudges under the glass.
Did you hear me swear and call you names
Anyway, after 1/2 a minute or so the smudges dispersed and I'm good again.
So I'll put my hand up to being a knob.... I pressed it
So who else couldn't resist?
Go on...Press it....Press it.......Press it.....
I pressed it Got the same ripple-effects described. But no finger-smudges under the screen..
Have a light scratch on my screen. Can't feel it with a finger but can see it.
What can I use to minimize it / buff it?
Was thinking about buffing it with car wax, then thought about tring to use car clear coat scratch remover.... thoughts?

I've heard that people can use toothpaste to remove scratches before you can give it a try

You can buy glass scratch removal kits off the internet but I'm not sure how they would work on a screen or even if they would damage it more
Dunno about the scratch removal kit, but people said toothpaste makes it worse.
From what people say in the iPad forums, the only way to remove scratches in the oleophobic coating is to remove the whole thing by buffing it out. You can't just do the scratch or it becomes obvious when the screen is on that you've buffed out a section of coating....
Everybody says to just use a screen protector (for light scratches), remove the coating entirely, replace the screen, or send it in to apple, who will 're coat the screen.

It is possible that the digitizer has been replaced, and the adhesive tape used wasn't as good as original
it was a stupid decision that i decided to not remove the plastic film that came with the tablet. (on all smartphones or tablets they always put a plastic film on the device so that it can prevent dust and stuff, samsung even puts some processor, ram information on it)
after months of using it now i want to remove it so i can put the screen protector on it, or at least i want to remove it because it seems collect too much dust and fingerprint and make the touch screen harder to use. but it's "glued" and i can't remove it now.
i tried using fingernails and clear tape but couldn't remove it.
does anybody have any idea of what i can do? thanks

Just peel it off? No other way of removing it.

Well I would guess that you will have to heat it up a bit to get it to come off and you may have to use a bit more force than you might like.
Damn that's not good at all dude. It sounds like the screen protector was exposed to some heat and melted to your screen. I would call the manufacturer and tell them everything and maybe they will send you a new one. Good luck!

Just peel what you can off and use some sort of cleaning solution to gently rub off the residue. You would think the plastic comes off pretty easily, but if left on for too long, I've seen this happen on more than a few occasions.
