I checked into getting some NEC XP17s repaired several years ago by a local
Fort Collins place that has a really good reputation...  They told me that
unless it was a really special monitor, that it probably wasn't worth
repairing.  While I really liked the NECs, and they were over a grand when
we bought them, the price he was quoting for repair was around $350 -- we
got a 19" display that works great for less than the cost of the repair...

The biggest problem is that monitors are, effectively toxic waste if there
are enough of them...  So, it'd be nice not to throw them away after 5
years...  We've moved ours off to doing lighter work where the squeal or
funkiness isn't a problem...
