8-o Don't EVER screw up a clean plastic crack with ANYTHING like epoxy or "crazy Glue" or WHATEVER!
What you need to repair almost any solvent weldable plastic is called MEK (Methy Ethyl Keytone) and it gives off one of the nastiest vapors you'll NEVER want to breathe! Full strength MEK is incredible, the stuff they sell in craft stores as Plastic Welding Solvent is straight MEK at approx. 50/50 with clear plexi dissolved in it!
Clean the plexi/polycarbonate/whatever as best you can. If it's a straight line, clamp it together in a jig and saw through it with a thin blade Japanese Pull Saw, either a RYOBA or a DOZUKI, whichever will fit well. Lowes carries a handy one for a beginner called a "Bear Saw" and they also carry straight MEK in cans.
Clamp the clean plastic together tightly and carry it OUTDOORS! Use an artist's water color brush with natural fiber bristles, dip it in the MEK can and touch it to the crack. Capillary action will flow the MEK throughout the crack and it'll be just as strong as the rest of the base. BUT LEAVE IT CLAMPED FOR A MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS! 48 would be better.
I use the same monitor and I'm sure it'll work, but test it by welding a tiny scrap of clear plexi somewhere unnoticeable befor taking my advise!
