So my family got a brand new Samsung Q90R 65" 4k tv. awesome tv right? It was awesome until my mother lit a candle underneath it and left a huge burn mark up the bottom of the screen. Whatever, insurance took care of it, but now I have a partially working tv that id like to repair to a usable state.

So I started by peeling the front layers off the tv.  I removed the anti-glare filter and the polarizer as they were the most damages parts of the screen. Keep in mind  the area of the screen not burnt functions flawlessly still.

Now that the polarizer is gone I just have a white screen.

here is where I'm stuck. I have some of the scrap polarizers fitted into a pair of glasses, functioning as a privacy screen. I need help finding the correct adhesive backed polarizer film to install on the screen. here is what I need to know...

Is the polarizer linear or circular?

What is the degree of polarization?

Do I need to replace the anti-glare filter?

 

 

If anyone could point me in the right direction where I could purchase a new filter or any knowledge of polarizers at all would be a great help! Thank you and keep DIYing!

It would probably be easier to find a replacement panel.

Was there not a warranty on the TV? Dunno if it'd cover fire damage not caused by the TV itself, but it wouldn't have hurt to look into before stripping the TV down.

Yeah there was but I'm not going to have Samsung cover accidental damage

Why not? Ya got a warranty, might as well use it. You seemingly fucked yourself because you didn’t want to get it covered and thought you could DIY it.
