LCD Monitor & TV Repair Cost – A Flat Rate For Repairs is Cheaper than an Hourly Rate

If you need to send out your LCD monitor or LCD TV for repairs, make sure you choose a flat rate over an hourly rate (specially when you have a choice).

A flat rate always works in your favor as long as the technician does a good job, while hourly rates can be a pain both to you and the repair guy.

I repair LCD monitors for a living and charge a flat fee of $75 for monitors up to 18” in size. It increases by $10 with each step up (i.e., $85 for a 19" monitor and $95 for a 20" monitor)

This includes labor & parts but excludes the cost of the LCD panel (if it needs to be replaced). Most LCD repairs come with a 90-day warranty on parts, so make sure you claim yours.

LCD Monitor, LCD TV and Plasma TV - Is It Cheaper to Repair or Replace?

Most people feel that it is cheaper to simply replace a monitor or television once it develops a fault, rather than try and repair it first.
 

That, unfortunately, is not always true.

When you're faced with a situation to repair or replace, consider the cost it took to buy a new TV (or monitor). Then approach at least 3 repair shops in your neighborhood and ask for a quoted invoice for the cost it will incur to repair your monitor or TV.

I recently repaired my 32" LCD TV for less than $300. The front screen had cracked and some of the electronic parts had to be replaced. I saved at least 30-40% by repairing instead of buying a new TV.

The difference becomes more evident when it involves something high-end like plasma televisions. It is usually far more expensive to buy a new Plasma TV than to repair it.
