3yo w/scissors -- that is familiar. I had a chip in my old monitor from just such a source. :)
Since the glass was actually chipped on mine there was little I could do about it, but things that I tried that did not work.
lens repair kit -- it was made for repairing scratches and such in glasses, but didn't work at all on the monitor. I found that it left streaks, smears and a filmy haze anywhere it was applied. Any buffing to remove the haze removed the filler as well.
Removing the coating helped, the actual chip was very small (about the size of a pin head) but lots of scratches in the coating. I used some cleaner or another, any number of them will work -- just look for one that says it's not safe for coated glass. :) Fair warning on this though -- I had no further problems with the monitor becoming more scratched, but my eye glasses are another story.
I work in a dusty area, which normally wasn't a problem, until I started driving a forklift -- the extra speed of movement turned the dust into scratching projectiles. The UV/Anti-Glare coating on my glasses became so scratched that I eventually removed it. Worked wonders, I could see with no scratches in the way at all. But it also removed the protective coating, so now my glasses have actual scratches in them. I don't drive the lifts anymore so it's not that bad, but the warning still exists. Removing the coating can remove the scratches in the coating, but also exposes the glass itself to be scratched if care is not taken.
Also, removing the coating will remove any Anti-glare capabilities -- so careful lighting of your workstation becomes more important.
I never found anything that could fill in the scratches without being just as noticable due to haze and such -- but I didn't try Pledge or Armor-All, either.
