I picked up a 60" Sharp Aquos LED 3D TV for almost nothing with a cracked LCD. Everything works and you can still see video. I thought it may be worth trying to find a replacement panel for this one.
I emailed Sharp Support and got this following response:
Unfortunately, while the warranty would cover defects in the parts and construction of your product, accidental physical damage is not covered. The panel is one of the most important parts of your TV. If this becomes damaged it is not an easy task to replace. Unfortunately you are looking at, in the very least, 80% of the original price of the tv after parts and labor. For this reason, Sharp does not replace panels or make them available for replacement. I apologize for any inconvenience.
While no surprise, I would hope they would still make the panel available as a part. Any idea if there are aftermarket panels for something this big or pretty much out of luck??
