Glass LCDs???

I recently bought a LCD and like it, but I am really paranoid about scuffing the plastic screen. Do they make any LCDs with a glass cover and if not then why?? It seems like a pretty good idea to me. I wish I could buy a glass cover that would clamp on to my display.
 
Unless you carry around your monitor a lot, why would you scuff the screen? Also, the big advantage LCDs have is portability. Most of the weight of a CRT comes from the glass.
 
I never move it, I just get paranoid when stuff gets on the screen and I have to use those wet wipes to gently clean it.

The entire picture tube is heavy in a CRT, one sheet of glass ontop of the viewing area of a LCD isn't gonna increase the weight that much.
 
There are LCDs with a glass front, but I think SONY is the only company that makes them, and they are expensive. You can also buy aftermarket "glare-screens" which are designed for LCD's, but those are also way expensive, like $90.
 
it's probably less expensive if you just get a wet rag to lightly clean it off, and then lightly dry it...honestly, you seem to be the only one with a problem like this...
 
I don't either. LCDs are kinda pricey already. A glass front just seems alot more durable for such a investment.
