I wanted to resurrect this thread to let folks know that there is a <$100 solution to a scratched MMI LCD display.
Rather than replacing the entire unit which can cost $1000-1400 new, you can replace just the LCD display panel.
Once the unit has been removed, you can remove the outer frame. The underlying TFT panel is an AUO unit. My particular S4 uses a AUO C070VW04 V6 7" TFT LCD Panel Display. The replacement can be found at many locations if you google it.
When the unit arrives, it can be swapped out by pulling out one wire and feeding a flat wire tab which is secured under a screw unit.

Does this AUO TFT display have the same blue coating found on the factory units? It's this blue coating that many people have scratched. Until now the only cost affective fix was to rub off all the blue stuff entirely.
