[Q] Should I replace the screen?

[tfpHumorBlog]

I must have dropped my Galaxy and now there's a tiny scratch on the screen. It is either a scratch or a crack. It's hardly noticeable, but right in the middle of the screen. When a white background is displayed it shows the scratch with a rainbow of light shining through it.

It's a minor annoyance since it's tiny, but it bugs me.

Has anyone replaced their cracked screen, and is it easy? Do I just need a replacement glass? There's a lot of kits on Ebay and just want to get some firsthand experience advice.

Thanks!!!

If it doesnt bother u that much i would just wait to replace it. Replacing the screen itself is a PITA!!

100% true its your getting rainbow color its more then likely something wring like pixel or some with LCD. if it doesnt bug you then dont if your like me and it does bug you then replace it its not hard to replace the full screen and digitizer but it may take some patients and a PUNCHING BAG

Make sure you've checked the price for Samsung LCD+Digitizer combo before thinking about replacing the screen. No, "replacement glass" won't help you, since it takes professional equipment to be able to separate the LCD, digitizer and glass. And LCD+digitizer, which is a kit you can use for replacing, costs >$120.
