In the past, when the big-fat monitors were still been used, if
there's any problem with them, I can open them up and find and fix the
problem.

Nowadays, where the TFT LCD bunch is taking over, when a monitor fail,
it just dies. Can't be repaired, nada, zilch.

To me, the TFT LCD represents a step backwards. I have on my hand 5
TFT LCD monitors that lie belly up, and I just can't fix them ! All of
them have the same problem - the back-lighting fails, but since
everything is compressed into a compact module, there's no way to fix
it !

Darn ! !
