Reparing your television may cost nearly as much as buying a new one.
As electronics keep changing and becoming more advanced, the cost of repairing them also rises. The more complicated the repair job is, the higher price you'll pay. Plasma and LCD televisions are typically more expensive to repair than traditional TVs.
Average Cost
According to website Today.msnbc.msn.com, the average cost of repairing a television is around $500, as of 2010. LCD and plasma televisions cost more to repair, and the more expensive televisions cost even more to repair.
Considerations
Compare the cost of a new television against the price quoted for repairs. If the cost of repair is at least 50 percent the price of a new TV, then opt for a new television. This saves you hassles and worries regarding future repairs of your older TV.
Expert Insight
Always purchase an extended warranty plan for your TV to protect you in the future. Not only does the warranty cover repairs, but if the repair fails, your warranty covers the cost of that.
