Is my new monitor borked?

I am 99.9% sure the answer is yes, and have already contacted the company I got it from about sending it back, but just on the 0.1% chance it's not... is there any way to undo what you see here?



The 'shattering' is either a visual artifact, or damage to the substrate, because you can't feel anything on the surface of the screen itself. If somehow, it's not actually as bad as it seems and can be fixed by one idiot at a keyboard, then huzzah, life is good!CBFUz7q.jpg


Thanks all!

    That is 100% fucked, you can see the impact point where the screen shattered right there.

    Send it right back, possibly with a note about using proper packaging next time.

    Ya that's a dead montor,

    While the plastic/glass ontop of the lcd layer may not show any damage, the lcd itself has shattered.

    Yeah it's important to realize that the glass "screen" on our devices that we can touch is not actually the screen in most cases, in that it does not display the image... it's just a clear pane of glass that protects the real screen underneath.

    Gaslight on

    Maybe see if you can pass it off as a million dollar work of modern art, because that's not a usable monitor anymore.

    Yeah the screen is flexible, at worst it'll have a ribbed like texture with damage like this.

    It's fucked though, 100%.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    Nuts. I figured that was the case, but was hoping mayve something could be done with it. I just got my refund, and the shipper was like, 'not even going to ask you to send it back.'

    Modern art it is, then!

    And you already know where the nail to hang it on the wall goes.
