Cleaning up marks in a monitor screen?

I got a Dell 15" monitor for $15 at a computer show yesterday and it works good, but it has some marks in the screen. I cleaned it with glass cleaner and paper towels, but some of the marks are still there. They aren't bad, but they make a little distortion in the image if you look at them the right way.

Is there any way to polish them out?

I'm going to sell this monitor with a computer system, so it's no big deal to me.

    There's this stuff that's been advertised on TV that gets rid of scratches on eyeglasses. Don't remember the name.

    It sounds like either the glass is scratched, or the protective coating on the screen has been scraped off.

    What rc1974 mentioned would help scratched glass. Re-doing the protective coating needs to be done professionally and wouldn't be worth it for an old 15" monitor.

    This is at your own risk, but I have used Endust (a furniture polish) on some screens with fair success. I wouldn't risk it on a really good one, but with a 15" used monitor you don't have all that much to lose.
