Assuming that the parts are available, how much time, effort and money
would it cost you to repair the monitor as compared to replacing it?  Is
it really worth the effort?


If your problem turns out to be a common issue for your monitor model, 
you may find repair instructions online, so you can estimate the time and 
component costs.  In some cases there are sources that supply
replacements for a failed circuit board with one that has been repaired for 
a modest price with return of the failed board.   Assuming your monitor
doesn't have a CRT and isn't one of the ultra-thin designs, swapping a 
board is usually something that most people can handle given adequate
instructions (often a youtube video).
