Im thinking your local shop is probably right. The replacement panel, labor costs and shipping costs will most likely exceed the cost of a new one.
Next time dont bash your head against the screen when a game is kicking your butt! :cool:

I would never rage over a game, lol . At least not bash my head in the screen. I'd have to hear that from Asus to stop finding a way, What would you recommend?

yikes! how did that happen? The shop owner is unfortunately right. Would cost about as much to have the panel replaced as buying a whole new monitor.

You can replace the panel yourself. for cost of parts. Ask whatever asus rep you get what parts are needed for the LCD display and there is your cost. If it's to much money for you now hen just start saving for the next monitor unfortunately. The people that broke in are dicks and deserve to step on a landmine.

If you want to take on repairing it yourself read below.

I would start by taking apart the monitor before you order parts though.figure out where everything goes and stuff. See if it looks like you could do the replacement yourself. The display portion of the monitor should come off fairly independent of everything else. This will also let you see inside if anything else is broken or if it is just the display. I won't go into huge detail of how to replace the display right now. I would start by taking it apart piece by piece in as clean an environment you can create.

few quick Tips
Take your time

Don't lose parts. use a bag or magnet or metal parts and screws.

SO the monitor broke and you cant get part prices from the manufacturer.....perfect. SOOOOO......anyways I found the LCD part from a parts seller.....

818.68 EUR or about 850 USD

That's some BS that they are charging that much. You might be SOL unless you find a screen on EBAY or something. Not sure why the single most breakable part costs for than just buying the monitor new. Usually the thing that brings the cost up is labor for repair I was expecting like $400-$500 for the LCD not $850.


Sucks to suck sometimes.

Sorry to hear this happened to your monitor. Unfortunately, it is best to buy a new complete monitor. Consider your monitor totalled.
