Sorry to be the harbinger of doom, but the display panel plus the cost of labour to have it fitted will probably cost nearly as much as the TV's worth. As it was "an accident", it may be covered by your home insurance though.

A new panel is likely to cost more than the set did in the first place, do you have accidental damage insurance?.

The pannel is the main bit so your gonna end up paying more or less the same for new tv.

Prices vary greatly, but I don't think Samsung are particularly cheap, just the panel, no labour, is quite probably more than the retail price of the set.

I priced a Sony 40 inch panel the other day, it was something like £540 + vat just for the panel - and Sony are one of the cheapest, I've ordered 32 inch Sony panels at times below £150.
