So I recently came upon one of [url=http://www.epinions.com/specs/Syntax_242T_Television][u]these[/u][/url] TVs. [sp]Now it's all sticky.[/sp]
Hehehe, but seriously. I was riding my bike when I found that someone had left one outside their house on the curbside. I immediately though [B]"HOLY FUCK FREE HDTV"[/B] and got the car to pick it up. I brought it home and plugged it in.

Fuck. So anyway, I get to thinking. We have a shit CRT-TV from years ago.

It's ancient, and recently, has been malfunctioning. At some point, we'll need a new TV. This HDTV I picked up would [I]normally[/I] be capable of 720p video. That would be satisfactory. Even though the screen is broken, the rest of it [I]seems[/I] to work... When we turn it on, we can see the corner of a "No signal" box on the screen. (Note: There [I]was[/I] no signal cable plugged in so this is expected.)
I'm wondering how much it would cost to get a new screen for the TV, and have it installed (Hell if I'm gonna do it, and hell if my father would let me... [I]"THERE ARE CAPACITORS IN THERE THAT CAN SHOCK YOU EVEN WHEN IT'S UNPLUGGED!"[/I]... is that true?).
And is it worth it? Facepunch, help me out here.:biggrin:
I wouldnt risk it, you might spend money on replacing the screen to find that another component doesnt work, costing more money. Try buying a new one.

You can plug in a cable that makes the TV say "no signal"? Gotta try that.
Otherwise, above poster is correct. Buying new is always better than repairing.

What
No, I said that so that nobody thought that it was saying "No signal" when I had a cable running in.

Aww fuck. :bang:
Just one day have a really big fake fight and throw the tv out your window and act all pissed.
The neighbors have to see it though
specially not that kind of tv for a price that high
It would cost more fix an LCD TV than it would to buy a new LCD TV.
A decent 42" costs $700 U.S.D. now, maybe less. Mine did at least, not counting sales tax.
