I picked up a Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 93SB in the last couple of months. It looked *horrid*. A big patch of the antiglare had come off around some obvious scratches, and over time it'd left a splatter of lightness in the middle, surrounded by perfectly good antiglare on the rest. You're probably familiar with that.
I ended up using steel wool, the fine stuff you can set fire to, with a little ammonia-based window cleaner. Gentle rubbing without much pressure eventually took it off. In a couple of little spots I went down to another layer of what seems to be a half-millimetre thick plastic coating over the glass, where the antiglare on top was more like a very very thin varnish.
In the end I had all the antiglare removed with just a few tiny scratches where I went into the hard plastic protective layer. All up it's 95% perfect, but 10,000% better than it was with the glare coat scratches!
