I have a Vizio M-Series 65" Quantum TV. I cracked the screen and need a replacement. Model# M658-G1. Serial# LTCWYHMV4359567. Really appreciate your help. Thanks.
Sadly with TVs in general (not just Vizio), the cost of the bare LCD tends to total out the entire TV to the point you’re usually better off selling it locally for parts, especially with the cost of freight shipping the replacement LCD as UPS can’t be trusted. In most cases, the most cost effective option is to remove the remaining parts and sell them to offset the cost of replacement. However, if you can find an exact match with a good LCD with bad electronics, you can transplant your existing electronics to the dead TV, move your back over so the S/N matches externally and nobody will be none the wiser. However, there is a catch: You DO NOT EVER want to reuse what it came with w/o verifying which part failed! If you do, it may fry your good parts! While we want to encourage repair, TVs just stink to repair cost wise and are almost always better used for parts when it involves the screen. The issue is cost of parts, plus shipping (freight), plus your time all add up and with how cheap a descent replacement is which is what causes people to scrap them over smashed screens.
