Yep. Also those are fairly common with Acer anyway. Mine died a death like that without any kind of physical damage to it.

Sure, if you have deep pockets. It's likely to cost more to fix than to buy new (I did screen/electronic repair for many years....)

Yup, anything is repairable given enough time and money. However, a replacement would be more cost effective, since you've damaged the panel itself during the drop. For someone to fix this they'd basically be replacing everything except the plastic case/stand, and maybe the monitor control board, but even then, by the time you factor in labor to disassemble it, you'd be spending as much as a new one.
