I rubbed some Windex on a small paper towel and then rubbed my Samsung SyncMaster monitor. Everything appeared fine until I noticed in the top left corner the black film that covers the monitor is beginning to be revealed. In fact, it'ls like looking through a window in that corner. I can see the screen through that spot, but it's incredibly reflective. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

I always thought they put that coating on UNDER the glass in between the phosphor coating and the glass but not outside it.

Apparently that wasn't the case here. Do you think it's a defective monitor? I've had it for almost 3 years no problem.

The monitor's likely not defective. There are always warnings about not using any kind of alcohol or ammonia based cleaners on the surface because they can damage the coating.

Your windows do not have the non-reflective coating that monitors have, so there is windex for windows and monitor cleaners for monitors.
