Hello:
Thanks for the reply and suggestions. The scratches (and
patches chipped away) appear as light(er) areas on the screen similar
to a fogged window (screen coating) with a water streak in the steam
(apparent scratches). There doesn't seem to be an actual mark in the
glass, just the coating.

As the screen cleaner is likely alcohol as you've suggested,
would the coating not intentionally be of a nature to resist
dissolving in alcohol?
Again, this occurrence has definitely surprised me as I do
not even touch my screen intentionally and (relatively) carefully
clean only a few times a year. Never before had I had a concern (with
previous screens) until today.
Again, thanks for the reply,
Dale
