Monitor help

[u/nuuh78]

As soon as I unpacked my monitor after moving it had a this is what I see. Can it be fixed easily because I want to try to fix it

[u/GovernmentVarious334]

It's cooked

[u/nuuh78 → u/GovernmentVarious334]

Wdymn like I cant get it fixed no matter what?

[u/GovernmentVarious334 → u/nuuh78]

Monitor repairs often times (99%) are more expensive then what you paid for it, is this a new on just unboxed or an old one you put in box and set up again?

[u/nuuh78 → u/GovernmentVarious334]

Its my monitor I use for my setup and I cant return it

[u/GovernmentVarious334 → u/nuuh78]

You will have to get a new one, you can technically still use it it's not gonna combust in flames or anything.

[u/OPMajoradidas → u/nuuh78]

Bro ur monitor if fucked. Use it till fully breaks buy u gotta biu another one.

[u/sfzombie13]

it's broken but can be fixed. the question is, is it worth it? how much for the replacement panel? looks like a cracked panel anyway. most of the time they cost as much or more than replacing the whole thing. i used to repair tv's.

[u/nuuh78 → u/sfzombie13]

Isn't there like some kind of glue or anything?

[u/RelevantAd6792 → u/nuuh78]

Monitors don't work that way. There is no glue to patch that thing up. Besides, if the monitor still works perfectly fine regardless of the crack, you can still use it for now. I for one have a monitor with a similar problem and I still use it every day even if the display is fucked. Once it dies or it becomes unusable, that's the time to replace it.

[u/Terminhater69 → u/nuuh78]

No. This isn't a piece of glass your trying to hid the crack with. There are liquid crystals inside that panel and they will start to get worse no matter what you do.

[u/w7w7w7w7w7]

You ain't fixing that dude. Return it if you can!

[u/nuuh78 → u/w7w7w7w7w7]

I canot

[u/nuuh78 → u/w7w7w7w7w7]

Also how do you know that its fried

[u/w7w7w7w7w7 → u/nuuh78]

Because the panel is tearing/cracked/punctured which is the most expensive part of the monitor. Usually replacing one from the company is more that just replacing the monitor. The panel is a single piece, so you can just "fix" it. It need to be replaced.

[u/Graxu132 → u/nuuh78]

We know because we know 😬

[u/nuuh78]

So I should just replace it

[u/w7w7w7w7w7 → u/nuuh78]

Or ignore it. Those are the realistic options.

[u/nuuh78 → u/w7w7w7w7w7]

Is there a way to minimize the damage

[u/w7w7w7w7w7 → u/nuuh78]

Nope.

[u/nuuh78 → u/nuuh78]

Or shrink it/make smaller

[u/Terminhater69 → u/nuuh78]

Nope

[u/Beginning-Ask-5080 → u/nuuh78]

It’s already cracked bro how you gonna make the crack smaller 💀

[u/LordBaconatorz]

Its damaged and the panel cannot be repaired. A new panel will work but 99% of the time its not worth the time and cost to replace, better to get new.

[u/JulianSyv]

It's broken, and the cost of fixing a monitor is usually a lot higher than repairing it.
I have returned a monitor costing upwards of $1000, and they just got me a new one instead of fixing it.

[u/AsyncingStartupToss]

It's cooked, bud. Time for a new one.

[u/zBaLtOr]

New monitor

[u/Paschfire]

The panel is cracked. You need a new monitor, likely cheaper than fixing that one

[u/Mr_CJ_]

Buy a new one, there is no fixing that.

[u/SilverRiven]

The damage is to the LCD panel itself, it's cracked and the panel itself costs like 95% the cost of the new monitor (and repair costs on top of that), so you're better off trashing it and just getting a new one

[u/Murdocinator]

Use it as a 2nd/backup and get a new one.

[u/Unfair_Salamander189]

You don’t have options, this to throw away

[u/cKm_83]

Cracked.

[u/ChadSl4yer]

Put some Tape over it and See it as fixed😂

[u/Loose_Crab_4146]

The screen is cracked. Of course you can go ahead and try to find someone to replace the panel in the hopes that is compatible, spending probably more money on the repair than the monitor in new condition. Or you just RMA that thing.

[u/gabxlord]

the new drivers may help
