Would a 55" Sony screen work as a replacement part for a 55" broke Insigna screen?

As per my other question, my 55" Insignia cracked.

I found a TV with a bad motherboard on craigslist, but a Sony. Do you think the screen could work as a replacement part????? Or only another Insignia?

Yes, my thought is that maybe someone with a broken TV, but a non-broken screen, would be a good source for parts to fix my broken TV, or if easier, that the working parts on my TV can be a Replacement for the new broken TV. Either way, just as long as I can get a complete working TV from the two.

Yes, ideally I'm trying to find the same TV since then there is no question on compatibility of parts.

    No. Parts from one TV will not work in a different brand of TV even if the sizes are the same. In fact, there's no expectation that parts from TVs of the same manufacturer but different models will be interchangeable.

    If you need a replacement screen for your Insigna TV you need to get a screen for your specific model of Insignia TV.

    It is a remote possibility as these TVs are not cross compatible. Sony will work with Sony screens only.
