In the vast majority of cases this is simply not true. Most screens on the market are within $40 to $120 (+shipping), with an occasional older\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/blog\/ordering-correct-lcd\/\">CCFL-type<\/a>\u00a0screen priced a little out of this range. With the average price of the laptop (by research group NPD) being $672 in 2012, replacing a screen versus buying a new laptop is already saving you $552 &#8211; $622 alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: 16px;font-weight: bold;line-height: 29px\">Your laptop is more valuable than the sum of its parts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Except for the LCD screen, the laptops consist of the motherboard, video card, CPU, RAM, Hard Drive and a number of other parts. For most laptop owners, the though of parting with their machine can be devastating.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the environmental impact as a part of your decision. In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/blog\/replace-your-lcds\/\">this recent post<\/a>\u00a0we talked about reducing the carbon footprint by replacing and repairing parts, instead of disposing it and getting an entirely new unit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: 16px;font-weight: bold;line-height: 29px\">Just do it (yourself).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Replacing a laptop screen may take you 15 minutes or less.
