LCD Screen Smashed...Options?
Long story made short...my 7 month old Hitachi 32HDL51 screen got smashed today by an errant 5 year old wielding a dog bone while I was outside working in the yard . TV isn't dead, but screen is. Top 1/3 of picture is present, but rest of screen is rainbows and looks like broken glass . Need options (other than doing something with the child, that's in progress). Can the screen be replaced and at what cost, or just buy new (and if so, is there anything in today's market worth considering that have at least 2 digital inputs)?

texneus -- take some consolation from the fact that your loss is educating other parents
Now, I'm going to mount my new flat screen higher on the wall than I had planned to!

Check the T&C of the credit card that was used to make this purchase. Some of the cards have wording that will cover accidental breakage. However, there are some exclusions in the fine print pertaining to electronic products on certain credit cards so you really have to read the T&C before calling..

I suppose this happens way too often. Dont people have play rooms for their rugrats? I suggest taking precautions against this but noone ever seems to get it. Of course the kid didnt mean it....I know that! It's just that...it could be prevented.
Here's my suggestions and exactly what I did:
- Finish off at least part of the basement and make it entirely for the kids. Give them a good TV, fun toys, video game set, etc, etc. Make this playroom MORE attractive than the living room. Thats the key. My kids dont even CARE about the upstairs now...they have their own little domain!
- If this is unfeasable then you simply MUST protect the TV somehow. How about not allowing them to play in the TV watching area? Thats a start!
I know I'm gonna sound like a meanie...but I didnt spend two grand so the monkeys can play kickball in the house.....
Either prevent it...or roll the dice.... no other choice my friends!
