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?

    Depending on your graphics card there seems to be several ways to crop the screen to your liking. I would look into those. I think there are several posts on Reddit about people going about that.

    Are you into photography? I used to take the screen off and use the soft led backlight for lighting up sets. I know in TVs there is a nice soft white panel being the screen. Perfect even lighting
