The screens of modern LCD and LED TVs in most cases do not have additional protective glass, except for the standard two components of the display, between which liquid crystals are placed to form the image. The thickness of the outer glass of the display of medium diagonals is measured in tenths of a millimeter. For comparison, the thickness of standard window glass is 3 mm. The required margin of structural strength is achieved by the quality of the glass, and if the surface of the panel (matrix) is not subjected to impacts or excessive pressure on the screen, mechanical damage usually does not occur on its own.
But, nevertheless, we often hear complaints from owners like this:
— I was watching football, and in the heat of the moment I threw the remote control at the TV - a “web” formed at the site of the impact and part of the screen stopped showing at all. Can you repair it?
— The child was playing and hit the screen with a ball. There are stripes and distortions, it’s impossible to watch. Can it be repaired?
— The TV fell from the wall. Turned it on - there is sound, no image, there are stripes and cracks on the screen. What to do?
The answer in all similar cases is unequivocal - it is impossible to restore the panel’s functionality and it needs to be replaced
.
Sometimes an accidental hit on the screen with a children's toy is enough and the TV may fall into the category of irreparable for the reason that it is impossible to find a replacement for some panels, or its price, including transportation and installation, may be higher than the price of the TV. The cost of replacing the panel can be clarified at the nearest Authorized Service Center (ASC) for the specific brand for your TV model. Typically, the addresses and telephone numbers of such dealer centers for all regions are indicated in the documentation that was issued upon purchase - warranty cards or user instructions.
Commercial workshops usually do not practice replacing LCD panels with new ones due to the unprofitability of such repairs, but they may have a stock of components, including used panels. Calling the nearest TV repair shops in the hope of finding a working used matrix for a specific TV model will in any case not be a bad idea before simply throwing the TV away.
Many people often have a question. Why can't it be fixed? After all, the glass itself is intact and there are no visible external cracks, just stripes and interference. The fact is that the inner glass is often damaged, and along with it the LCD crystals and the connections between them. In any case, it is impossible to restore the internal structure of the matrix in this case with even the most modern repair means and the panel must be replaced.
Repair of LCD panels is not initially provided for by manufacturers. There are also no instructions, diagrams or spare parts for their repair. The experience of the craftsmen and the availability of a warehouse of spare parts for used TVs sometimes help to somehow correct the situation. All initiatives to restore the functionality of LCD panels come directly from repairmen. In some cases, workshops may offer to replace glass from another panel that is structurally similar to yours, or other options for getting out of this deadlock, for example, buying a non-repairable TV for parts at a reasonable price.
In conclusion, I would like to note that some TV models use additional protective glass, which may crack from impacts, but the display glass and crystals will remain unharmed. In such cases, the broken glass can be replaced or simply removed so that it does not interfere with viewing. But such TVs (with protective glass) are extremely rare on sale. In addition, few buyers know about their existence and are puzzled in advance by the additional strength of the screen. Usually, when choosing a TV, they are guided by other criteria.
Our service center is often contacted with the problem of a cracked TV screen. The most common cause is mechanical damage to the TV matrix as a result of an impact or equipment falling to the floor. As a rule, the main culprits of such breakdowns are children or pets (most often cats).
Here is one example of children and pets playing. The child was chasing a cat around the apartment and ended up knocking over the TV. A very decent device, model LG 55LA690V-ZB, was damaged. At one time, the owners of this equipment paid almost 2 thousand US dollars for it. And it took just a few seconds for a runaway child and a cat to turn it into trash...

Is it necessary to change the matrix?
There is not and will not be one clear answer to this question. The whole point is that each situation requires an individual solution. We can only tell you about the basic principles and help you make your decision. So, if you break a TV, the first thing you need to pay attention to is the brand of the device, the cost and extent of the damage.
If the TV was purchased a long time ago, then the manufacturer may no longer produce matrices for your model. In this case, you will have to either buy new equipment or look for the necessary part at repair centers.
Important! For example, the well-known Japanese company Panasonic stopped producing plasmas and, accordingly, matrices.
Expensive TVs with a wide range of functionality are worth trying to repair, because this way you can save more than half.
Also, it is worth emphasizing that sometimes the damage is not so large-scale, which means you can try not to replace, but to reconfigure the matrix. If, as a result of the impact, the gas did not leave the matrix, but only strange vertical and horizontal stripes formed on the screen, the situation can be corrected. To do this, take the broken TV to a service center.
Important! The huge advantage is that the cost of reconfiguration is not so high.

Below we have provided a number of tips to help you generally understand whether you should change the matrix on your TV, or whether it is better to buy a new TV. Since replacement can account for approximately 90% of the cost of a new TV, it would be optimal to purchase a new TV and not complicate your life. If you have the opportunity to purchase a spare part at a reasonable price and have a specialist who will install it, then it may be worth considering this option. At the same time, remember that there is a chance of running into a scammer. And instead of a new spare part, buy a used one with a rather vague future.
Replacing a TV screen/matrix in Moscow
Massive CRT TVs have been replaced by sleek and lightweight LCD panels. They are distinguished not only by their compactness, but also by increased image clarity and richness of colors. Unfortunately, in addition to numerous advantages, they also have a disadvantage - fragility. Sometimes even a slight external load results in the formation of a web of cracks that interfere with normal viewing and worsen the appearance of the equipment.
Many owners believe that in this case, one way is to purchase a new TV, but our company offers a more rational solution - replacing the screen.
Plasma screen - what is it?
First, let's figure out what a plasma screen is and how it projects an image? The matrix is the basis of such a TV and contains a huge number of cells, inside of which there is a mixture of xenon and neon. These cells are coated with phosphors. Also, along the perimeter there are special conductors that contribute to the formation of ultraviolet glow while passing through a gaseous environment. This is what causes the cells to light up and glow in a given color. As a result, we can observe a complete image.
Why does the screen break?
In addition to mechanical loads, our craftsmen have to deal with the following situations:
- Failure of the internal electronics providing image formation;
- Failure of individual pixels due to exhaustion of service life;
- Defect of LED elements illuminating the matrix.
Practice shows that in all cases, with the exception of cracks, the matrix can be restored. If there was a mechanical load, then there is only one solution - installing a new panel.
Types of replacement
You can replace the matrix in one of the following ways:
- With the help of a specialist.
- On one's own.
The first option is preferable. But it costs much more. When doing work with your own hands, a person must have a certain level of knowledge, experience and the necessary set of tools. When repairing yourself, the costs will consist only of the cost of purchasing a new matrix.
Installation can also be carried out:
- New matrix.
- Refurbished old item.
What is the cost of replacing the screen?
The final cost of the service is determined by the complexity of the analysis and the TV model. It is most difficult to work with modern panels, the construction of which uses not only plastic, but glass, metal, and other materials, which complicates disassembly and increases the price. The type of part being installed, in turn, depends on the TV model.
In some cases, it is possible to install not a “native” part, but a cheaper analogue of the same diagonal and proportions. With due attention to the choice, this approach does not have a negative impact on the quality of the image.
Damage warning
It is impossible to argue that prevention is the best defense. Manufacturers have already created many methods of protection. One of them is an acrylic screen protector. Its advantage is that, unlike TV screens themselves, they can be exposed to water, scratches or even light impacts.
Important! This type of screen will help protect the original panel from mechanical damage, which is extremely important, as well as from dirt and dust, which is considered the enemy of nanotechnology.
So, if you want to protect your plasma TV from damage, and even more so if the cost of the equipment is quite high, we recommend purchasing this protection option. An acrylic protective screen is very useful and necessary in a house with children, because one careless movement can lead to large losses.
Important! If the resume of the technicians from the service center is unambiguous - the panel cannot be repaired, you will have to buy a new TV. Our reviews will help you choose a high-quality model and place it correctly in the room:

What to do if you need to change the matrix?
In addition to the already identified problems with the high cost of the matrix, you may also encounter the problem of transporting a damaged TV to a service center, since only professionals who have a whole range of related tools and skills can replace the matrix at home. If the owner of the device does not have a sufficiently spacious personal transport to transport large-sized cargo (and it will be necessary to transport it strictly in an upright position, avoiding any tilt angles, so as not to cause any overloads), then the cost of calling carriers will be required. It could also be like this - a technician is called to your home with payment for diagnostics and transportation of the TV. But you will also need to pay for the work to replace the matrix. To summarize, the process can have a significant impact on the budget. The profitability of these activities must be calculated in advance.
