I purched this tv two months ago. Nobody scratched it. I only have one good daughter who's always very gentle and never went near the tv. But some marks appeared since last week that looked like an airplane right in the middle of the screen. Everytime when it is a light colored a picture, you can see it -- looks just like an airplane coming over from a distance. I actually don't think it is a scratch mark. I think the screen somehow did it by itself. I want to return it. But it's already more than two months. Hopefully Amazon would still let me return it, even if that means I need to pay a fee.There are two other things I don't like about this tv.1. The black frame. It makes the pictures appear to be darker. The silver frame tvs look much better. Wish I noticed that difference before my purchase. But Toshiba got such a good rating. I guess I was over influenced by that.2. The picture quality - not exactly what I expected.
