Sony TV 24-ex-430 LCD Scratched

[Chaks]

I bought a used Sony LCD/LED TV which is working perfectly but it has a 3mm sharp scratch on the screen/panel (see images in the link).
Can anyone tell me if the scratch is only superficial and it has not damaged the underlying pixels.

Is there a chance that the scratch will spread over time and become bigger than it is now. I plan to install a screen guard to the TV and before that just want to make sure that the scratch was not that deep enough to have caused any damage to the LCD display.

Assuming the worst case that the scratch has cut through the underlying pixels in its path ... will the damage to the lcd screen be limited to the pixels that are damaged or it may start spreading and become worse during normal usage.

Many thanks for your time.

The lcd panels are glass but there is a plastic film covering them, It is likely just the plastic film that is damaged, if it went through into the class there would be a very large crack in the glass. Just leave it alone as it can't be repaired

Is there any chance that the scratch would expand during normal use.Does it make the lcd screen brittle in that area and any slight tension on the lcd screen will result in a crack in future. What i mean by slight tension is occasional touching of lcd screen by finger tips/nails.

Can this scratch develop into a crack ? Are the LCD screens so fragile that a scratch would eventually develop into a crack during normal usage. Do i need to worry about the scratch that is 3-4mm on a 24inch lcd/led tv.?

No. This scratch will not and has not weaken the LCD glass at that point. If it is bearable/tolerable while watching movies etc then just leave it alone. try to polish or buff it out will make a bigger spot on the screen.

thanks a lot for the replies. finally got rid of my worries about the extent of damage the scratch would cause on the LCD glass. I am just going to put a screen guard on the lcd so that such scratches do not occur again.
