A co-worker of mine currently has an LG 42LB1DR LCD TV. Somehow a wiffle-ball collided into it (I didn't ask) and as a result the tv is damaged. I attached a picture of the description she sent me as to what she is seeing. My question is: is this repairable? I initially thought it was just the screen but based on the description I worry it may be more.

It sounds to me that the LCD display panel has been damaged. I would assume that it would not be worth repairing.

I agree with you,If the back panel is broken it will cost you more than a new TV.

Thanks for the replies. I thought it was just the screen but I've never taken apart an LCD only a LCD Projection so I didn't want to touch it without some opinions on the matter.

Hi Duckydan,

If your coworker is interested in selling their tv, we may be interested in purchasing. Please email webuytvs@gmail.com with model number and condition of unit and what is included, remote, stand, power cord, etc.

I think they threw it out already webuytvs. It had been broken for a month prior to her even telling me about it so when I told her it'd cost more to repair she pretty much gave up.
