Replacing LCD TV Screen?

Question

Ok, I broke my TV screen.

The details are embarrassing.

Anyway, I have a huge crack in the top right corner of my TV screen and I'm doing research to discover methods on replacing the screen. I'm willing to do work--lots of it. All I need is resources. Does anyone know a location to get junked TVs? Perhaps I can find my model through weeks of searching and replace the screen with one from another TV that got thrown out because of some other problem.

Any answer is acceptable, but please don't tell me I can't do it. It'll be a challenge and therefore fun. Thanks!

TV MODEL: VIZIO VW37L (perhaps the VX37L can be used for its screen?)

Answer 1

Well MOST Vizio Tv sets that are being junked out have the same problems as your's does....Broken screens....

In fact, you'll find most Visios listed in E-bay as Parts only-Broken display panel....

And the worst thing is....Visio doesn't supply parts, you have to send the unit to them for service, and SOMETIMES they only charge a set fee for ANY failure...

And if that set fee is $500....and covers the display panel too, then that's a GOOD DEAL....

But if they charge the cost of the panel, then it's NOT a good deal, because they actually do cost as much (or MORE) as a new TV set....

Answer 2

you can change your screen its not too hard,you need to look on ebay under lcd tv faulty,make sure you get the same make/model.but the screens are the part most sort after.think its something to do with nintendo wii.good hunting.paul

Answer 3

Vizio, LOL! First, the screen will cost you just about as much as a new TV. Second, GOOD LUCK getting a part like that from Vizio! Slim and none, and I think Slim has already left town. Read this site re: disposable TVs.
