It depends on the screen size and the availability of the new screen. Some manufacturers and repair facilities have access to screens and the cost can be almost as much as a new monitor, and sometimes, the cost can be much more.

A good trick is to find a similar type display that's not working because of the power supply or video board and swap it out with your parts. You can buy a junked out monitor, or non-functioning display from eBay. That will save you some time and money if you REALLY want to repair it, since non-functioning units usually sell for a fraction of what they're worth working.

Conversely, you can sell your broken screen monitor or recycle it too.

I have my 55'' curve screen tv crack

If it is under warranty you should be able to get it fixed or replaced. But I doubt the cost of a replacement screen would be worth fixing the TV. However you could get some of the cost of a new TV back by selling the PC boards on e-bay. There's bound to be someone out there who would take the boards off you. Many of the sellers of boards for TV's come from models with broken screens.

Unlock cracked screen nextbook 8

On some touch screen device, the tough part of the screen won't work when it has a crack. So it ill be difficult to unlock the screen as long as it has a crack. Ask yourself if it is worth repairing the screen, when you know what a repair shop asks for the repair and what a new device costs.

Looks like the screen is cracked....shot with b b and crack from this point. No external damage visable.

It may not be worth fixing at this point since the screen will more likely to be more than $200, 50% more than the cost of a new 32" TV. You can check with www.shopjimmy.com to see what he has instock, caution; you will have to find out which make and model of the screen is in your TV since same model can have difference screen.

My son hit the screen with a yo-yo and crack it.

If the LCD screen itself has broken then it will actually cost more to repair the tv than it will to replace it entirely with a new model. Sorry.
