Is this screen cracked?

[Storyteller12]

I've never seen a screen cracked like this and still have a perfect picture.

Maybe it's the diffuser cracked like on some of the Samsung NU series.

Just curious what you guys think. TV is for sale in my area and thinking of maybe trying my luck.

Wanted some other opinions before I pull the trigger

posting this without a model # and asking for help ? screen is definitely cracked. Odd - yes but tv is still use-able. depends what your using it for. Not fixable

I don’t have the model #. It’s an 8K TV. That’s all I know.

How can you be sure it’s not the diffuser?

its crack at the 3rd layer of the LCD. cells will remain displaying color as it should . the crack will be more noticeable at black / dark picture.
one time i did 55 repaired BL and at time put panel back its curved and the same crack happened at the middle. but Panel remain displaying full picture over the crack.

I suspect it has a front covering hard sheet like gorilla glass but it broke.. don't buy this unless you know a company that replaces it.. you can see it by the boubble near the crack, maybe it craked because of a temperature shock, the screen glass has maybe a different dilatation factor..

Would make a nice big security monitor for the vision impaired, even for regular vision people, nice to have a big screen for split screen viewing from multiple cameras.
