    hi..
    Our LCD 5.6" was cracked by accident, as you can see from the attached picture(s). My question is: Can the LCD screen just be replaced ? What are my options? If thats possible how long will it take to fix. If not, then where can i buy a used LCD ?

    $2 of Lexan from HomeDepot could have saved you the trouble.

    +1 to OptiTek; they just fixed my cracked LCD, 24 hour turnaround. Great job!

    Our 7" LCD was scratched. We obtained a quote from RED for screen replacement. So that might be a good option.

    Also, I find that alot of ACs and DPs tend to remove protective coverings made of plastic. The plastic inevitably gets scratched and degrades the image. I'm a big fan of Schnieder's 7" and 5.6" Rhino Glass. Preserves the image quality, extremly durable.
