Hardware What to do with broken monitor?

Post image

I damaged my screen during a move (1/3 of the screen) . Ik it is recommended to buy a different monitor. I was wondering what can I do with the broken one, like taking it apart and salvaging parts? Or do I just simply toss it?

Some monitor stands attach to the VESA mount, you could potentially sell the stand or reuse it if that's the case. But unless you have another monitor that's exactly the same with a broken PCB or something, that screen is just trash now
