Is my LCD permenantly damaged?

[50]

Hey, today my lcd fell off the table and it got 4 dents in it and I think a small part of the anti glare coating was ripped off. Is there anyway to fix this?

As for the original poster, it is really hard to say, but it sounds like the damage is permanent.

Don't be like this poor guy

Looks like you'll either pay some bucks to fix it or just buy a new one. Just bought a new 17" LCD from Newegg for less than $200 after rebate.

Good luck.

Almost any damage to an LCD screen is irreaparable. They cannot be fixed and are called FRU's in the IT world (field replaceable units). Meaning you throw out the old one a replace the whole thing. LCD's Suck and CRT's Will always RULE when it comes to colour, versatility, refresh, and the list goes on. LCD's have only 2 advantages over CRT's Space and Power usage other than that their display performance is pathetic.

Rubbish, there's many more advantages. Stop being a CRT fanboy.

IF so then why didn't you give me any? Name 10 advantages that I have not already listed and I will give you 15 why CRT is superior.

And do not plagerise ANANDTECH, or any other site use your own words.

How about not, and we don't turn this into flamebait?

The damage is permanent. You might be able to find a buyer on these forums (Hint) who might take it at a discount given the damage (Hint) but keep in mind the price would need to be slashed more times than the victim in a Hitchcock flick.

Lol, you have not seen the organic lcd displays then, picture quality better than plasma and about as thick as a cd case

Too bad they don't make any organic displays bigger than those little 2" ones on cell phones.

LCDs are easier on your eyes as well. They also use up the whole screen (not really an advantage).

That is incorrect, there is no such beast as "Organic LCD"


I am very familiar with Organic LED or sometimes called OLED, they are not LCD or even close to being called LCD. LCD and OLED are two differant Animals.
And yes I have seen them, they are nice very nice and cannot wait till they take over
Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Displays (TFT-LCD). And Dont get Oganic Light Emiting Diode (OLED)
confused with Light Emiting Diode (LED) and Polymeric Light Emiting Diode (PLED).

They are avalble in screens larger than 2 inches. Click here to buy.

And CRT's Will continue to co-exist with OLED displays. Since they still have advantages over Most Thin Screen Technologies.

Keep telling yourself that. In 5 years you won't be able to find a new CRT monitor that isn't made for graphics professionals. I assume this shift in the monitor market is because LCDs suck so much? :roll:

I'm surprised you didn't include screen geometry. Of course, some people aren't upset by having offcenter images, tilted images, pincushioned images, non straight lines, moire effect, trapezoidal distortion etc, they drive me nuts though.

The advantages/disadvantages of LCDs are well documented in many places though, and arguing about it doesn't really achieve anything - people really should make a decision based on actually using a monitor rather than someone's passionate ranting about the shortcomings of any given technology.

I know this to be a fact. The mass market and average consumer does not understand or even care about technical specs. like you or I and do not read (anandtech,xbit, etc) . They are in awestruck over its size (or lack there of) and wall mounting ability. They dont take the time to read the specs or understand the differances. and just want one because quote: "they are so sleek looking I WANT one."(not reffering to its picture quality, but thin screens in general) WANTS are the a big driver of the market.
These are the SOME of same people that say to me on a regular basis that they have never heard of AMD before, and those that have say that those chips are cheaply made Intel knock off's and buy a celeron instead thinking they have the (key words) "latest and greatist" over A64 or sempron. (I do respect your choice for Intel, and understand that decision)
If the day ever comes that 22in LCD's are cheaper than 22in CRT's I am willing to pay double for a CRT.

 

[Googer]

Those problems can be fixed for the most part. With calabration tools.
Image Quality matters most and I belive untill some other technology comes along that CRTs will offer the best balance. I dont know of any LCD's That can run at 16 differant resolutions Natively. No less 2 with out interpolation

 

[Googer]

I have a passion for all technology, not just one technology and am ready to jump aboard a new bandwagon when they can offer all of CRT's features, Especialy the swiss army knife like resolutions. I hope something comes along soon to replace or augment them since CRT's "are not perfect". And LCD's are less than Ideal.
