Is It Possible/Worth It To Repair This Monitor

[daviden]

So my BenQ EX3203R recently... broke. Ignoring why this happened, I was interested in whether a repair for it, like buying a new panel and replacing it, is possible or worth it. Any feedback is appreciated.

 

 

Here it is while I'm booting my PC up. It is supposed to be all black with whatever logo shows up with my MSI Tomahawk mobo.

$450 monitor so its not a cheap basic display. Would have to depend on how much replacement panels are then the difficulty of actually replacing it is. I'll look around for panels.

Sourcing a panel may be hard, might require having a donor monitor.. which would mean to say replacing the monitor would make more sense. Panel replacement may be marginally cheaper if you can just source the panel but you might as well replace the whole thing, the main component is broken.

On second thought, looks like replacement panels for that display aren't easy to come by.

It would probably just be cheaper to find a new monitor, panels for that display are likely very difficult to come by esp. with that 1800R curve.

Ya, it looks like getting a new monitor will be the answer. Maybe I can sell it broken and hopefully someone can give it a new life.

Here is a couple potential replacement *candidates: The ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B, ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQR, and The ASUS TUF GAMING VG27WQ

 

 

 

 

*I know that from previous research that these are good deals though that may have changed and there may be other monitors that match your needs these are just to help you figure out what you want.
