Replacement LED, LCD or Plasma Screen for my TV
In the advent of home entertainment becoming all the more important in modern society, many people are choosing to invest in a plasma, LED, or LCD screen TV from manufacturers such as Hitachi. These TVs offer many advantages over the preceding types of TV sets, like the old CRT TVs. However, they come at a price, which makes it scary when the screen gets damaged or broken. This can happen unexpectedly at any time. Fortunately, there are aftermarket replacement screens available for most Hitachi TVs.
What should I consider when buying a replacement LED, LCD or plasma screen?
If the unfortunate event that the time has come for you to repair or replace the screen of your Hitachi LED, LCD or plasma screen TV, consider the following carefully:
- If your Hitachi flat screen TV has only a small scratch or crack on the screen, it may be possible to repair it using a scratch kit, auto rubbing compound and clear lacquer or petroleum jelly, saving you replacement cost.
- Hitachi makes aftermarket replacement screens for their LED, plasma and LCD TVs but you can check if there is a generic replacement screen available for your specific Hitachi model. This might save you a considerable amount of money.
- Hitachi makes a number of different types of television sets with different screen sizes and different model numbers. These screens are not interchangeable. To make sure that you buy the correct item, do not only rely on the model number of the television set. Where possible, verify the exact part number on the screen itself against the replacement part before buying the replacement.
- Read through the sellers description and specifications carefully to make sure that you know exactly what you are buying. Make sure of the condition and that you will be getting the correct item.
Can I replace the television screen myself?
Before embarking on the replacement of the screen of your Hitachi television, consider the following:
- If you are not a skilled technician, it is strongly recommended that you take your Hitachi television set to an authorized repair and service center to have the screen replaced. This will ensure that the replacement is carried out correctly.
- If you do decide to proceed with the replacement yourself, be very careful not to damage any cables, plugs or electronic components.
