Is it possible to fix a broken LED screen

[FenrirHS]

OK, so I am an idiot... with a specific type of gaming rage I hit my 1920x1080p ASUS LED monitor, several times. It did last the damage so with my complete idiotic thinking I decided to hit it with the handle of my Xbox controller. Well, to everyone's surprise - hitting a 200 bgn (Bulgarian currency) monitor with a plastic controller while raging is going to make a crack. Now, it holds an impressive in size and colour massive crack that covers about 60% of it. Now, you can call me an ungrateful brat (and rightfully so) but is there any way I can fix such a thing and how much will it cost if I have to pay for it? The crack can't be felt from the outside, but the small point of impact looks like shards, there is also a huge white space and tons of vertical lines running through the whole of my screen. Also, is it worth the hustle or should I tell my dad about it so I can start saving up for a new one (last resort is using my sister's monitor she uses for a TV and just buying an hdmi cable to go with it).

oh i'm sure its possible but it would cost more then a new monitor

You cannot repair a cracked display panel, you can only replace it. Time to man up and tell dad.

^^^ What he said. Start saving.

Ok, it would cost more, but is there a chance that I could fix it myself for a lesser cost?

sure there a chance you waste your money too. use the money for some anger management course.

Hey, i guess it depends on your local repair market conditions but in general it's cheaper to buy new than to fix.
You have to:
- find exact spare part from same model screen
- find repair shop that can take such task, successfully (usually there is mismatch and following repair, it will not work same as new)

good luck...

yes you can do it yourself if you are technical orientated. my 1st lcd I fixed was my 19" Frankenstein Samsung monitor. I've done about 4 others including the Samsung 24" I'm using now that I replaced 2 capacitors.
