Hello, I have (had?) a Phillips 23" IPS display. My, uh, girlfriend, uh, hit it on the top in a midst of a rage and it stopped working.

The screen itself is a little shattered, but only on the upper part of the screen, near the top. Structure of the frame is integrate. Could someone give me an idea if this can be fixed by simply changing the display somehow? Is it costly? Will I have to find a screen for the exact model of my display? Should I just bring it to the computers service? (they are not too costy in my country)

Just wondering if it's possible to fix a display at half the price I paid for it.

Uhh, no. Toss it. (Or recycle? especially important if it has a CCFL backlight, because those contain mercury.)

You GF owes you a new monitor. The cost of fixing it will probably cost about the same as a new monitor. On the bright side: monitor upgrade!

You would be in luck if it was a laptop screen. TV sets and monitors, not so much.

Thank you. I guess I'll just sell the broken display for 10-20$ at some repair shop or something.
I already ordered a used Dell u2312hm rev. A06.
Speaking of which, does anyone know what are the actual difference between Dell u2312hm revs A00, A05 and A06? No other revs of this model are mentioned around the internet.
