I took a burned out light bulb to the repair shop to have the filament replaced, cost me $35.00. Would have only cost about two bucks to buy a new light bulb.
So now I know it is always better to buy new instead of getting something repaired.

If the repair costs more than a new one, replace it. If my monitor dies, it most likely can't be repaired and it is out of warranty. I'll just get a new one.
