Hello lemmy, I dropped a monitor and it hit the corner of the furniture. Luckily furniture survived with minor injuries.

Monitor is 24" 1080p used as 2nd screen in office (Dell P2417H)

Is this trash?

Edit: monitor hit hard from decent height. Im surprised there is no damage on case or plastic LCD cover (not sure is it called like that, I mean the glass like thing that protects the screen)

    Depends on how good are you at repairing things and your luck with sourcing a new display panel.

    If you think that you are capable of replacing the display, google the model and there should be websites that should give you the model of the display panel. When you got that, try finding a place where you can get one, probably on AliExpress or some other Chinese website.

    If you managed to find a panel for a decent price and you think that it’s worth it to repair the thing, instead of just buying a new monitor, go for it.
