check for cracks by powering up the backlights.

i really think it's intentional that lcd's arent protected!
funny though, there is a Tesco (UMC) tv i have with 3-4mm glass bonded to the face!
perfect for people with young kids throwing shit around.

Older Panasonic plasmas had the tough panel stuff which could resist significant impact, but the glass creates reflections so it's bad if the room is bright. The newer plasma technology bonded the glass straight to the panel so if that glass broke the panel was dead, but it significantly minimised reflections.

You can see how tough these panels can be with the external glass screens:

To be honest people need to be more careful. It really is quite difficult to break one of these screens.

Yep its a shame, I have seen them Umcs with that super glass bonded on the front with the inner Lcd smashed. I did try and smash the bonded glass, well when I did it ended up it 1000's of little shards lol.

This screen which is a Samsung Lta320HA02 is quite durable as the glass is thick hence why I couldn't see the crack.

normally i can make something up, but the UMC is so damned front-heavy that i cant mod a monitor stand to fit it.
