After getting some feedback and searching some more on the net, it appears
that a "repair" indeed is quite expensive. To do it properly, it requires
removing the anti-glare coating and applying a new coat. This runs about
$250 for a screen the size I have. Cheaper than buying a new monitor, but I
think I can live with that small scratch after all ;)

I have also had suggestions for using Armor-All or some wax of some sort. I
might try one of these "solutions" to see if it does any good, and will give
feedback if it does.

It is virtually guaranteed that repairs like this will cost as much ormore
than a new LCD.  With prices dropping you can now get a Dell 2405 fpw (24"
LCD with PIP, PBP, and 12 ms response time for $900.  The Samsung 21" is now
(until 5/31) under $600 with a Samsung $100 rebate.  Smaller screens run
from $250 and up, and repairs that are as labor intensive and high tech as
fixing a scratch are going to be in excess of $300.  I would do that for a
fairly new $1,000 LCD, but not for an older smaller one (19" or less).
