Modern flat screens are much more likely to be glued together in ways that make it nearly impossible to repair them, too.

- mdorazio 8y agoExactly. Had part of the bottom LED backlighting strip go bad on a monitor recently. I'm no stranger to electronics work, but repairing it proved impossible due to the way the monitor was manufactured, even if I had been able to source proper replacements. Compare that to old CRTs I used to repair in high school by swapping out parts you could often find at radio shack and get to with just a screwdriver.
- DanBC 8y agoMuch higher risk of death with a CRT though.
- mdorazio 8y agoTrue, but not too much higher if you're careful to ground out the HV circuitry before you touch anything. It's also not nearly as high a risk as people tend to think [1].
