My brother threw the remote at the TV and cracked the screen. I was wondering how expensive it would be to replace the screen. The TV still works fine, and we have no need to buy a new TV anytime soon, so I would really like to just get a new screen. Is this something I would be able to replace myself?

    Thank you!!

    No, I'm not going to.

    They have brand new 50" plasma TVs on sale from Best Buy for $600 right now.

    I'm sure we still won't be upgrading our TV for a few years. But, the crack in the screen is only a minor inconvenience for now.

    I just thought I would check to see if it could be fixed for under $100. Thank you for the information!

The protector screen is $247.79 If the screen behind that is damaged, that one is $147.97 If the last screen is damaged, that one is $495.00
I hope he only damaged the 1st clear screen, known at the screen protector

    I'm pretty sure it's just the screen protector that is damaged. If the screen behind that is damaged, it is very minimal (just a spot) and would be fine.

    Where would I go about ordering a new screen protector? I'm assuming that does not include shipping, and the shipping will be very expensive.

    Would it be easy enough to replace myself? Is it just glueing the protector onto the edges of the TV?

    Would it be any cheaper to order a generic replacement from a screen protector website and not from Sony?

    Thanks for your help!!

    You can install it yourself. I checked the shipping and it could be between 50-150. At their site log in as a Guest and click on the United States Origin in the middle top of the screen, enter your model number and search for SCREEN

I have a Vizio e601i-a3 TV , an angry gamer threw the control and brother the screen. it till turns on ut it looks like shattered glass around the impact spot. I have been searching high and low on google...

The cost of the screen, and the tools needed to make it work with your current TV would be more expensive than it would be buying another TV. Go find the gamer that caused the damage and get them to buy you a new TV.

My daughter threw a toy at the tv. The TV is not cracked but the is a splash colour on the screen. can it be fixed/

Hi, Unfortunately this is a crack internally, the spalsh of colour is the Liquid Crystals running through the cracks, the cracks can be very fine and not visible because of the spread of liquid. this can't be fixed, it would require a new screen which could be very expensive if you can get one.

you could try claiming on household insurance if it covers for things like this.

Hope this helps.

My fiance threw the remote and hit the left side of the screen . it didnt break the outside of the screen or even leave a mark but about 6 inches from the edge in looks shattered.

The screen is broken and the only fix is to replace it. When the remote hit the edge of the screen it bent a little and cracked a few inches from the edge where the screen was starting to fold a bit. But as the screen is overwhelmingly the single most expensive component in the television it's usually cheaper to replace the entire tv, especially when the labour charges of fitting a new screen are added.

Due to economy of scale, when you buy a flat panel tv you're effectively buying the flat panel at a volume discount and getting the casing, power supply, electronics (in fact all the other bits which turn a bare panel into a tv) for free.

Sorry, but your fiance made an expensive error.

Shattered screen

Change the screen!

I am sure that the cost of a screen change would be more expensive than replacing the TV set.

If that was my child. You can be sure that there will be no more TV until he can buy his own! And I mean that...

CRACK LCD TV SCREEN

The LCD panel will have to be replaced. Contact a Philips service agent for cost.

The cost of a replacement screen will probably outweigh the cost of a replacement TV.

If you have household insurance, it should cover accidental damage.
