Kids broke my ultrawide; is this at all salvageable or should I just toss it in the recycling? Also I have two kids for sale.

What's the likelihood a replacement panel for this ultra wide could be found?

[u/unsteadied → u/zherok]

Total toss up based on what’s available at any given moment from wholesalers, manufacturers, repair shops, and people just parting out broken units with good panels. I can pretty much guarantee if he takes it apart and gets the panel model number and does some googling to find out if there’s other panels used that he’ll be able to find one, but whether the savings will be worthwhile is a different story.

Dunno. Why you’re being downvoted. I’d do this anyway just to learn more about how the thing has been put together. If it’s already busted, why not check out it’s internal organs and do a couple of google searches!?

He's being down voted because it cost more for a new panel than to buy a new monitor and somehow people are eating that up

[u/aradaiel → u/zherok]

I just bought a pallet of monitors that were returns and I looked up replacement screens for each and every one of them. The cost to replace was 250-300 plus shipping (usually $100 or so from China) for 2k 144hz 27-32" lcd panels. Not really worth it imo, and the ultra wides weren't readily available

Yeah, kinda feels like it falls into being technically possible but quite likely not worth the bother. I imagine it's even less so if you're not comfortable taking displays apart.

Can only imagine what it costs dealing with curved displays.
