Four days ago while working my display went out and sparking started. I took it to my technition. He said st has to be replaced. I have no idea what is it. Well he made necessary repairs and charged me 10$. He said he could not find the parts but he did something which will make it work. After 24 hours of of usage it went boom again. So here is the deal either i should take the monitor for the repairs again or buy a new one. Personally i want to buy a tft. Well got any suggestions with this atleast. :) raven http://www.mmoneyfh.blogspot.com

I think you must buy a new monitor, you repair it for 10$ and it will be boom again in next week. I use my computer 24hours, my 5 monitors went boom :(. I hope you can choose a better monitor.

TFT are your good choice, i will choose TFT, it easier to move. CRT a lot cheaper than TFT, but that very easy getting hot. TFT no need much power.

If possible, just get the LCD as there's no guarantee whether after repairing again the monitor will work. The amount for repairs, I'd suggest you save that up to go into buying the new LCD

How many times will you repair the old monitor? If this time you repair it with spending 10$ more ,and after one or two week it would may gone, then what will you do? I suggest you to buy a tft.It will save your tension as well as place.Do not think twice.Go ahead.

It depends on your budget i will advise you go for a tft because even if you get the monitor repaired we have no conformation that it will not get spoiled again. So go for a new tft and you will feel better.
