    I've got a few scratches on the screen of this thing and was wondering what would be a fair price to be looking at when trying to buy another screen?

    Obviously the RGB. :p

    You mean the plexiglass? If I was you, then I'd look into maybe a special plexi scratch remover before I go spending at least twice as much on a new RBG screen.

    Used RGBLED screens vary from ~150-200 used to like 350-400 new.

    Any chance you have an extended warranty? Alienware replaced my RGB-LED panel at one point over a single dead pixel.

    LOL, that's definitely high. I would try Radji's suggestion instead.
