Who the F buys a 23" LCD TV? It's got the same picture size of a 14" regular TV.

No, you're still the idiot, b/c you asked everyone how much it'd cost to repair. Quit being a tool.

If the only problem is a cracked LCD screen, you need to purchase the part. Seeing as the parts are always insanely marked up going through the local repair store probably means they'll charge you a small fortune for the screen and $$$ to install it. I wouldn't be suprised to see the bill be $1500.
If you have a friend who can purchase parts directly from Sony or their parts distributor at wholesale prices you'll do a lot better.

Actually I've seen tv repairsmen use liquid crystal to repair cracks in LCDs. All they did was let it run through the cracks and it would instantly heal. Well instant meaning labour wise. It took about 24 hours for it to completely dry up.
