Don't remind be. I cracked a laptop's LCD panel last year. The surface was
fine, something was cracked underneath. Large portions of the screen are now
black.

Repair place quoted me R8000 to replace the panel, and that was a 17" laptop
screen. I'd hate to see the price to replace a 40" LCD TV's panel.
