ruined a monitor, advice

So, some clumsy idiot when removing the monitor from the loft put pressure on the bezel, and now there is leakage, and vertical lines. It basically look like someone has pressed into the top of the screen, and thin vertical lines in the middle. can this be fixed with a replacement screen?

I'm thinking about throwing it up on auction site marked as faulty, would anyone even buy it? its a decent monitor

It depends really..

How expensive was it? Is it worth trying to fix?

Or just keep it as a spare when you need it for something unforseen..

it's an lg 38gl950g so yes

this is the damage

What a nightmare, the panel is dead.
Nobody will buy that.
I'd be checking house insurance details to see if accidental damage to things is covered.

Dead is a strong work. It works fine apart from that at the top and thin vertical lines down the middle

House insurance should cover it. Can the stand be used a with any VESA monitor as that'll have some use/worth if so.

No home insurance but this is probably a good reminder to get some. I'm renting atm
