I did exactly the same to my cell phone display, it was in my pocket while I 
put most of my weight onto it while taking a pool shot :-)  A few minutes 
later I looked at it and the screen had gone all funky colours with a big 
crack across it.  Luckily it was under a year old, and for some reason they 
replaced it with a new one free of charge (of course I forgot to mention 
that I knew exactly how it broke).

Might as well just buy a new one I think, there's not much else of value 
inside a TV (compared to say a laptop).
