The no BS answer would be that's it's going to cost you marginally less than the TV did originally. I can't give you an exact price as it depends on which panel is in the TV and whether you intend to replace it yourself or have it professionally repaired. Philips 52" LCDs range from maybe US$800 to $2000, so it really depends on which model you have.
If you want to post back with those details I can get a more accurate price for you.
Cracked screens aren't covered by the warranty, but there are several options available to you:
1. Try to claim on your insurance if you have accidental damage cover included in your policy or pay extra for it. 2. Replace the TV and sell the other one off for parts. This will probably save you a few hundred dollars on the price of just buying the screen. It's fairly easy to sell them on eBay. 3. Buy a used panel or faulty TV from the same or similar model. Again, eBay is a good source for these and will save you a fair bit.
I'd suggest insurance is the best option here if you can take that route, I'm more than happy to look into the price of a brand new screen for you and also investigate the costs of options 2 and 3 but I will need to know the model number to do so.
in general cracked lcd panels cost more than the tv is worth.. depending on model panel replacment run 1500 to 2000.. and physical damage is not a warrenty item. do you have a toshiba or a rca the decription says you have rca r52wm24 which is not a lcd. that is a tube tv. and if it is cracked that definatly can be fix or replaced cost effective.
If the screen has cracked then
you've broken the single most expensive component in your tv. When you
bought it you basically bought the screen at a bulk discount price and
the casing, electronics and all other components came for free.
Buying
the screen separately will usually cost far more than buying the entire
tv and then you still have to add on the labour charges to fit it as
it's not a DIY job.
As far as i remember Samsung makes all the screens Toshiba uses. I would try to contact Toshiba for a replacement screen, from what i've heard the price of the screen is comparable with the price of a new TV
maybe I can get you one but I need the sizes in inches by the way some tv has more than 1 screen can you tell me if all of them are broken? I was unable to singn in for a while due to a problem in the system
It can be, but at quite the price. Screens are very expensive and can amount to 2/3rds the price of the TV. In most cases, count the warranty out, if you are still under one, unless you found a manufacturer that covers accidental damage. Do you have house insurance or accident insurance with your credit card company if you used it to buy the TV?
if your tv has black borderaround screen protector it has to be replaced with original part..if not it can be replaced with plexi-glass, avail at local home improvment stores
