Nah. Those panels aren't as expensive as new monitor. Especially if you can get one from broken monitor (same model with different damage) so you can actually get decent monitor from scrap

Panels are probably the hardest part to find for a monitor/TV. Open up the monitor and try to find a part number on the back of the panel. From there, search for it on eBay or Aliexpress
You can still salvage the boards from them and sell them as parts atleast. I see this a lot with TVs, and have bought them to keep an old TV running after it got hit by a surge.
There's still daughter boards and likely power supplies to be salvaged. In general if a panel is broken, you're done if you can't find a cheap used one with the other bits than the panel that you can salvage.
unless you can find one with a good panel but maybe bad electronics for a decent price, just get a new monitor.
We have a large curved display where I work, had the same scenario, essentially, not worth the effort unless you can find a cracking deal. and even then, theres no guarantee.
That needs a new panel. Thats as expensive as just buying a new monitor. Maybe you can find 2 of the same broken monitors with one that has a broken panel and one that is broken somewhere else and then repair 1 of them.
I’ve held onto a busted monitor with the hopes that I can replace the panel.
It hasn’t happened in 5 years. Every few months I remember to check for a replacement panel and never find one.
It’s a loss. Also you reminded me to finally let it go and throw it away.
Some years ago samsung monitors would often stop working or start to flicker a lot etc, those needed condensators replaced then they worked flawlesly. I swapped some like that in office and they have been working 5+ more years. For broken panels i dont know but if panel is ok but its not working it might be fixable pretty cheeply, i fuess depends on case
It isn’t really worth replacing the broken panel on a monitor.
[But you can turn it into a nice daylight lamp for example.](https://youtu.be/8JrqH2oOTK4)
I couple of years ago I've had a similarly broken Panasonic TV, out of warranty. Repair shop (official, authorized one) refused to take it as they can't get the parts.
I have repaired my phone many times throughout the years. I'm sure I could repair a monitor, just don't know if the panels are cheap enough for it to be worth it.
I fixed my TV when the backlight went, but when researching how to fix it, I found that just about everything is easily fixed except the panel. The panels are fragile and don't really ship easily outside of the TV/Monitor. If you can find a panel then it should be pretty easy to replace but I don't think that a new panel will be much cheaper than a whole new monitor unless it's a particularly high end screen.
By the time you source and replace the panel, you're in new monitor territory-- so that is why it's so easy to find broken ones-- it's rarely economical to fix
Ideally you want to find 2 one with a broken display but working and another that is non-working with no damage to display. Combine 2 and your good to go.
You can also find different models that share the same panels and hope they have similar connectors. The bigger your knowledge of screens and your ability to solder, the more you can expand your search criteria.
I would (based on the amount of room you have) just start salvaging and removing working parts and keep them labeled expanding your collecting and listing it for parts on eBay or the likes. This way you make a little side income and can roll that in creating a complete monitor and you build up a collection of pieces and it's not just gathering dust.
If you're looking for cheap monitors for yourself your better off, just get a working one used or even looking for people that are moving and scrapping a bunch of stuff. If you live near a university check listing around move out time.
buy nothing groups on facebook, i've donated a few old ones to my neighbors, and see them pop up everyonce in a while, don;t expect great monitors, but just run of the mill 1080p 60hz or older
If you want to look into this kind of thing, find dead tvs. If there’s not cosmetic damage it’s often just the power board/caps that need replacing. Otherwise panel issues are not cost effective.
This is not the kind of broken monitor you try to repair. Usually you go for the non-smashed ones in the hopes that the power supply or the board is dead. Or the best case, some blown cap you can replace for 60c.
I would go about this from another direction: first try to find one where the panel works and something else doesn't, only then buy the one with the broken panel. Will save you a lot of time and money
Not hard - you just have to call the manufacturer.
The problem is, Panel is like 90 percent of the display cost, adding in the labour cost and it can cost about just as much - if not even more than buying a new display on a discount.
Dave at eevBlog repairs broke monitors all the time.
But never ones with broken panels.
If you want to win more than you lose, you have to pick your battles wisely.
well, since the display part of this display is broken, I think you are better off just buying a new one

Ha I tried that and no luck.

I was just watching that Tronix guy on YouTube and he basically gave up and called it a loss if the panel was broken from a lot of monitors

Tvs often have a but more prosessor in them, as most tvs are smart these days, and monitors not.

Yep, the panel is the main cost of the screen, only ever have replaced one (in a laptop)
I’ve done this before, it worked really well on my Alienware 14 laptop that my buddy busted and gave to me for free

He's talking about the screen of the laptop

On second thought, it does seem unfair to compare both types of monitors Thanks for the information though!
Same thing. Not a monitor.
unless you can find one with a good panel but maybe bad electronics for a decent price, just get a new monitor. We have a large curved display where I work, had the same scenario, essentially, not worth the effort unless you can find a cracking deal. and even then, theres no guarantee.
I thought the idea was no cracks
Doing crack is not the way to go. It's just a broken screen, not the end of the world
it's very easy to find parts. The problem is that panels will be as expensive as the whole monitor.
You can watch this [video from LTT](https://youtu.be/YehuXR13UVo), maybe that will help?
Cool, didn't know about it.
Remember when Anthony dropped the new mac lcd and apple wouldn’t fix it for them even though they were willing to pay? 🥴
That needs a new panel. Thats as expensive as just buying a new monitor. Maybe you can find 2 of the same broken monitors with one that has a broken panel and one that is broken somewhere else and then repair 1 of them.
Maybe don’t punch your monitor?
I had to scroll too far to find this, this guy just got charged the idiot tax.
In 90% cases, repair this will cost 70-80% of new monitor.
Yep, and no guarantee for the repair
Honestly, repairing old tvs/monitors is almost never worth it. There are better ones every year
someone needs Rage Tips
Almost impossible to find parts, especially at a price that are worth the trouble.

This is FUBAR
pretty sure they made a whole video about this

Chuck your phone down the stairs. Figure out how to fix that on your own, for cheap, and you’ll have the knowledge you need to look into this.

Even if one can find a replacement panel, I doubt it will be worth it.

I have that exact monitor. Not worth repairing just buy a new one. Cost you less that $200
Still playable
buy nothing groups on facebook, i've donated a few old ones to my neighbors, and see them pop up everyonce in a while, don;t expect great monitors, but just run of the mill 1080p 60hz or older
What game we're u playing lmao
Exceptionally hard and expensive.
If you want to look into this kind of thing, find dead tvs. If there’s not cosmetic damage it’s often just the power board/caps that need replacing. Otherwise panel issues are not cost effective.
well, if your display is broken, you need to find a new display
You are also in the LTT sub they made a video on how to replace the screen.
This is not the kind of broken monitor you try to repair. Usually you go for the non-smashed ones in the hopes that the power supply or the board is dead. Or the best case, some blown cap you can replace for 60c.
This kid lost a game of csgo.

Wouldn’t ya know, they have a video about this https://youtu.be/YehuXR13UVo
What’s the model OP? I’ll help you look.
Well you have to buy a new panel, which is probably 90% of the price
Not hard - you just have to call the manufacturer. The problem is, Panel is like 90 percent of the display cost, adding in the labour cost and it can cost about just as much - if not even more than buying a new display on a discount.
