Depends how much it costs to fix the CRT. If it's a bad cap, it might be
obvious which one just by looking at it (bulging top and/or leaking),
and the fix, excluding the OP's time, may cost a few dollars.

The OP should of course make sure he's aware of the hazards associated
with CRTs even when there's no power applied.

OP's savings in electric bill ALONE justifies buying the new LCD, even if
he can fix it for free.


That depends on how much use it gets.
