Panasonic TX-ASW654

A neighbor approached me yesterday about this TV.
He got a repair qoute of about € 800 (close to $ 1000) and was wondering if there was an alternative route to repairing this puppy.
My, rather uninformed, guess would be that the panel is faulty, but if anyone with a bit more knowledge would care to venture a guess.....

More likely struck and broken panel = new panel or new TV

Obviously comes down to what a new is worth.

Looks very much like a cracked panel however take a really close look at the display.

Thanks for the input, but after having a really good look at the panel, I've had to conclude that this one is too far gone....
I'll leave it for someone far braver or experienced than myself.
