LED TV question!

[Moreno83]

Hey Guys ,

Got a question! Lately i see a lot of people selling LED tv's with a broken screen. Are those screens for sale somewhere?

I know its probably the most expensive part of the tv but i was just wondering

Screens are the most expensive part. The cost if you could find one cost more than a new TV. With LED TV, a bad LED strip will cause set to not work.

Re: LED TV question!

I figure most people buying expensive LED TVs with broken screens are doing so to play part in an insurance scam, where they claim on their house insurance that they accidentally damaged the item. I saw a 55" Samsung 2014 Smart LED go for £250 recently - that's about $400 - given the screens are pretty expensive I don't think they are fixing them. I can't otherwise think why someone would pay so much for such an item.

Given most UK insurance has a low excess (£50 to £100) and there are many insurers, I figure it's easy enough to make a claim then jump onto a different insurer and make another claim on a different item.

Re: LED TV question!

Thx , was thinking the same! I had a discussion with a seller the other day.

He had a $650 LED tv wich was 2 weeks old with a broken screen. Something hit the tv and half of the screen was black.
I said i would give him $50 for the tv but he wanted at least $400 so he could buy a new tv….

Already told him that those LED screens are not available , thx for the answer!

Clearly a scam listing...
58" QHD panel, CELL type, listed as a 40" LED panel... SURE...

Do you know if there is a way to test the LED screen as mine died and if a bad LED strip will cause the set not to work I need to know how to test the LED.

Thanks
