Physically broken LCD TV panel?

[Lxixboss]

Does the attached photo necessarily indicate a physically "cracked" LCD panel where the liquid crystal substance has actually "leaked" or can there be an electronic reason for the large black areas on the screen. The TV model is a Sharp Aquos LC-80LE650U, 80-inch LCD.

I agree a cracked panel but yes salavage the boards/led strips as always come in handy for future repairs.

Thanks to all who replied. I haven't physically seen the tv yet but I could get it for cheap and wanted to know if it was possible that it was the fabled driver tab problem that afflicts so many of the giant Sharps and that is often rather trivial to fix. Not this time, I guess.

It's Scrap i'm afraid,perhaps worth buying very very cheap if you think you may be able to use the boards in the future-otherwise,Leave that one well alone!
