@ kennethrcalh you are awesome thanks for your help

I hate to "Rain on your parade" as it were, but at 5 years old, and the fact you have had a "Catastrophic Failure" really puts this monitor into the "Should-we-spend-good-money-after-bad" Really once a failure such as this occurs, it often places so much stress on the "Other" components, through the massive current draw, thats caused the initial failure. That it will just "Chain Fault" once repaired. This is in my experience anyway.

look around on ebay or go to dell site and look under accessories.

Dell does not make TV's anymore but you can check www.partstore.com for a aftermarket part or www.ebay.com for TV with broken screens for parts ehter way here there is a resolve but you need to hunt.

Thanks please do leave positive feedback and ratings to your totally free answer today.

DELL HAS THEM BUT YOU BE BE JUST AS WELL OFF TO BUY A NEW MONITOR THE PANEL COSTS AS MUCH AS THE WHOLE MONTOR

When you still need a screen Let me know.

If the scratch is in the frame surrounding the viewing area and the monitor still works, I wouldn't worry about it. However, if the scratch was caused by a drop, it is possible that an intermittent connection will eventually develop and make the monitor non-functional. See if you can get the seller to guarantee against it being "dead on installation".

To address your specific questions:

(1) No need to worry about electromagnetic leakage--LCD monitors don't work the same as CRTs (and even if they did, the scratch would have to be on the inner surface of the screen to allow for even the most minor chance of any radiation).

(2) If the scratch is all the way through the glass, the damage will likely get worse. If it's just a surface scratch, the risk to the picture is from any other damage that may have occurred internally along with the scratch (see the first paragraph, above).

(3) If the scratch is in the display area, make sure it doesn't significantly impair your viewing experience. It's not worth the time or money it would take to repair the cosmetic damage, so if you can't live with its continued presence, I'd pass on this offer.

In summary, if the display looks and works good and is a fabulous deal, then it's probably worth a shot. However, if the scratch is distracting or there are ANY picture quality problems that seem to be related (dead or stuck pixels, flickering, etc.) I'd approach it with extreme caution.

It can be fixed as long as there is no physical damage goofing around a found this website where they have flat rates to fix your problem. Here is the link: http://www.moniserv.com/doc/lcd.html
