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?

If you're handy with Linux you can configure it to only use the working part of the monitor: https://superuser.com/questions/1305338/linux-distro-how-to-use-only-part-of-monitor-for-display https://duckduckgo.com/?q=linux+use+part+of+broken+monitor&t=fpas&ia=qa
