I have a pro and my screen has literally gone to ****. One deep gouge that I cannot rub out is pissing me off and I am starting to get some different coloured whites and stuff like that. So I either want a good product to fill in this gouge or a place to get a screen replacement.

Thanks!

Thanks Lars..but I am looking for somewhere that could do it for a little less than Apple could.

It's in the states, but they are fast, fair and good people:

iPod Repair, iPhone Repair

Despite the emphasis on ipod/iPhone, they were PowerBookResQ and MacResQ for many years before so believe me they know what they are doing. Toll-free number so you can talk to a human as well.

$369 isn't bad. Is there some sort of product that I can rub onto the screen that would fill in this little gouge? Some sort of filler maybe. I want it to be specifically for lcd screen. Some people have recommended Brasso or even toothpaste?

I mean its not very big. It is about a little less than a mm in diameter.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just don't think the gouge warrants a $400 bill.

Thanks for this! Took the Macbook on holiday.... somehow it must have been mysteriously trodden on as now the screen is almost completely crushed

Adrian, Brasso and toothpaste are both mild abrasives. (Brasso has all sorts of other nasties in it too - you'd probably never get the smell of it off your MBP screen - methinks it's petroleum based and it's nasty smelling. I don't even like polishing brass with it and use other products)

At any rate - a mild abrasive is likely to do MORE damage to your screen (especially if it's a glossy one) and will do nothing to remove the gouge.

You might want to give us a bit more detail on "starting to get some different coloured whites and stuff like that" - when does this happen and what exactly is happening? Color problems can have different causes and not all of them are the fault of the display itself.
