You could try getting a polishing wheel and wome wax and buffing it I guess. Only downside is buff it too hard and you could melt a hole in your screen Sad

If it is that badly scratched, why not make it evenly scratched by polishing it with brasso. This will make clear plastic go opaque but would probably look smart enough, it would be smooth at least. Better than sticking plastic over it?

You can get a perspex grade wet and dry, its a bit like a rubbery cloth and it works like magic!!
If the scratch is deep you may have to flatten it with some heavier grade wet and dry or some rubbing compound or whatever.
have fun and do report back on your success / failure as I have not tried it on a screen.

I'm in the same situation so looking out for a bit of boy racer window tint to stick over it.
