I dropped my monitor today. Now it has a couple of marks on the screen (one looks like like a little silver blotch and the other looks like a sliver of something peeled). As best I can tell these marks are not on the surface. Can it be fixed? The monitor seems to work fine otherwise at this point.

Can you post pictures of the problem? It is likely that there is an internal crack on the panel or a scratch but, there are a plethora of things to go wrong that sound like what you posted. And without seeing, we have no idea what it may be...

Since I posted that, I was actually able to fix those marks by wiping and gently rubbing a clean eraser over them. I'm still not sure if it was something with the screen or something pixel-related, but the eraser fixed it.
