Question from Marie P.: I have a 7 year old Sony 55-Inch Sony LCD TV that I like better than any TV I’ve ever owned.
The 55 inch size is just perfect for my living room, but now I can’t use it because it’s torn up.
My kids were horsing around and knocked it to the floor and now there’s a long crack across the screen.
The TV will turn on but there’s no picture. The screen just stays black. I can hear the sound though.
My question is do you think it would be cost effective to have this TV repaired or should I just grit my teeth and buy a new one?
