Question

OK i want to replace the screen on my 40" sony bravia lcd tv. Do i have to get a screen thats the exact same model number as the one i already have or can i just use any 40" sony screen? or even just any 40" screen?

Answer 1

Sorry to say but almost all lcd panels are unique to the sets circuitry. Even if you find another one that looks the same, it will probably have different software installed in the logic board and the picture will look completely wrong ( inverted colors or negative picture....) Sometimes There are a few that will interchange .but usually just with the same brand
