Does this LG 42LK450 screen look repairable?

Hey all,
I was moving my TV in the original box, and I just turned it on and this is what appeared.
It looks like some kind of external indentation occurred. The audio works just fine, the top part of the screen looks functional, but not the rest of it.
Would anyone happen to know if this is worth salvaging?
I got it about 2 years ago on Black Friday for ~$450 and the warranty has expired.

Would the repair be an easy thing to do, or is it more internal damage seeming from this image?

Solution
The panel will probably cost more to replace than a new TV would. It cetainly got wacked with something, right where the center of the impact is on the screen.

Thanks to the both of you for the speedy reply.
Looks like I can just use it for sound then, now like I watch much TV in my room anyway. Blah.
