Cracked TV Screen

nicola00

One of the kids has hit the screen, with a small hard ball, it has a small blur around the point of impact and then cracks/lines coming from this, its a fairly small area. All of this is inside there is no visible damage to the outside of screen

The tv is a SAMSUNG - LE32C450 32" HD Ready LCD TV and is only 2 weeks old

does this sound repairable and can anyone reccomend somewhere in Glasgow for repairs

Thanks

It would probably cost more than the TV is worth to get it repaired. Does your house insurance cover accidental damage?

Wasn't sure about claiming it on insurance, not sure how it will affect policy

ARRRGGGHHH , totally "scunnered" couldn't sleep last night from thinking about it, it was present from my mum to the kids and she said just set it up as the cabinet is sitting there empty waiting on it , so it got setup last week and my youngest has enjoyed sitting an playing in her room in her room, granted I'm now sick of the theme tune to Mr Tumble......but Scunnered none the least

Hi,

is it still watchable, if so, you could maybe put a Ben10 sticker over the blur.

Its watchable but annoying as the picture has lines running alone the bottom and a few up the side

Some people would take it back to the shop claiming it was like this when it arrived. Not that I'm suggesting you should do that.

well, I was going to suggest if bought in Argos, to take it back, they are quite good with returns, and if all boxed up don't seem to check much, but again, I said I was going to suggest it.

I would think insurance best option, but then you maybe have £100 excess.

Thanks everyone, a few of the places I have phoned to see if fixable have suggest the exact same thing that you's didn't say
