What to do with a broken monitor?
fedilink

Found this bad boy next to the dumpster. 32" Samsung. Anything I can do to salvage it? Or is it too expensive to fix? (I’m pretty handy)

Or could I use it as is and somehow only use the working portion of the screen?

If you no longer care for using it as a monitor, you can turn it into a fancy lamp. With some minimal electronic knowledge and diy skill it can be made into a collimated lamp that simulates sunlight from a window.
