A cracked TV screen cannot be fixed using simple DIY methods and usually requires professional repair or complete replacement. Since modern LED and OLED TVs use complex display technology, their repair costs can range from 50 to 80 per cent of a new TV’s price, making replacement more economical than repair. However, if you have a cracked TV screen, here’s what to do.
Crack TV screen
When dealing with a cracked TV screen, follow these steps immediately:
Step 1: Power off immediately to prevent further damage or electrical hazards
Step 2: Unplug the TV from the power source to avoid short circuits
Step 3: Check warranty status to see what defects are covered
Step 4: Take pictures of the damage for insurance or warranty claims
Broken TV screen
When it comes to a broken TV screen, you need to assess the damage first. Start by checking for surface scratches, as they can be repaired. However, if the display shows distorted colours or black sections, it indicates internal damage. If there is no display or severe visual distortion, then it indicates complete screen failure, while cracks due to physical impact will require full screen replacement.

If your TV is under two years old, check the warranty first for coverage, and if it is between two to five years old, you should consider repairing it. For TVs older than 5 years, replacement is recommended. When it comes to service, consider an authorised service centre for warranty-covered repairs, while local repair shops might be cost-effective for out-of-warranty repairs.
FAQs
Q1: Is a cracked TV screen dangerous?
A: Yes, exposed electrical components and sharp glass fragments can pose safety hazards.
Q2: Is it worth fixing a cracked TV screen?
A: Generally, it is better to replace a cracked TV screen than fix it if the repair costs exceed the price of a new TV.
A cracked TV screen can put a dent in your entertainment, and when it comes to fixing it, you should prioritise safety followed by cost-effectiveness. Compare the cost of a new TV with professional repair quotes and choose the effective option.
