LCD hit by lightning in Computer Hardware Discussion/Reviews http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22627961 en Wed, 02 Dec 2009 08:29:20 EDT Wed, 02 Dec 2009 08:29:20 EDT Re: LCD hit by lightning http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628706 DC DSL : Since the monitor was fried, it either was unprotected or had a really low-quality one. Most of the good ones have guarantees that will replace equipment if the protection fails. They're available at places like Dell, Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy, and better local home electronics stores.

A friend has a 21" LCD that died recently after an electrical storm. It didn't take a "direct" hit, but died after a close lightning strike.

It cost her $300 to buy.

Do you think it's worth trying to get fixed, or just buy a new one?
Shop around, one should be able to pick up a new, bigger, better for around US$ 150.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22627984 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:54:57 EDT LCD hit by lightning http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22627961 dibbb : A friend has a 21" LCD that died recently after an electrical storm.
