hey all just wanted to let everyone know that I just successfully swapped a panel into a Samsung LN46B530.
I found this TV on Craigslist 450 bucks knowing I was taking a gamble but I figured what do I have to lose. I had this good brand new panel sitting around the house for a while that was for a JVC LT-46AM73. it seems like it's only 46 inch JVC LCD ever made. Well anyways the panel is a 60 Hertz 1080p panel and the Samsung used a 1080 P 60 Hertz panel also. Knowing that I'll never find a JVC TV with a cracked screen because they seem to be super rare I took the panel out of the frame and retrofitted it into the Samsung frame. They both use different t-con board and I couldn't just swap the tcon over to the new panel I had to use the JVC tcon. it was a trick making the ribbons fit I had to do it some cutting on the plastic shell but as soon as I got everything to fit and fit the ribbons in I had to get crafty to make the t-con board fit on the back of the Samsung metal frame after I did that I powered it up and it works great.
on a side note I should add that the original Samsung panel was a CMO using side tabs this JVC panel which is also a CMO does not have side tabs however the LVDS cable fit perfectly and I did some research between the two panels and found out that the voltage is seem the same so just wanted to add that this swap worked. I'm still surprised myself.
