When both the internal and external screens of a monitor are broken, whether it is worth repairing mainly depends on the following factors:
1. The value of a monitor: If this is a high-end monitor with high value and plays an important role in your work or life, then repairing it may be a reasonable choice. The performance and color accuracy of high-end displays may have a direct impact on your work, and replacement costs may also be high.
2. Repair cost: You need to understand the specific cost of repairing the monitor, including the cost of replacing the internal and external screens and possible repair service fees. If the cost of repairing is close to or exceeds the price of purchasing a new monitor, then repairing may no longer be a cost-effective option.
3. Warranty status: Check if your monitor is still under warranty. If it is still within the warranty period, the manufacturer may bear some or all of the repair costs. Even if it is not within the warranty period, some manufacturers or third-party service providers may provide economically reasonable repair solutions.
4. Data importance: If there is important data stored in the monitor (although this situation is rare as monitors usually do not store data, mainly referring to data in the computer connected to the monitor), and these data are difficult to recover through other means, then repairing the monitor to ensure data access continuity may be an important consideration.
5. The availability of substitutes: Consider whether there are substitutes in the market that are suitable for your needs. If there are more cost-effective and high-performance monitors available on the market, then purchasing a new monitor may be more wise.
6. Environmental Protection and Sustainability: From the perspective of environmental protection and sustainability, repairing old equipment is more advisable than simply discarding and purchasing new equipment. This helps to reduce the generation of electronic waste and save resources.
Whether it is worth repairing when both the internal and external screens of the monitor are damaged depends on multiple factors. You need to consider all the above factors comprehensively to make a decision. If the repair cost is not high and the monitor still holds significant value for you, then repair may be a good choice. Otherwise, purchasing a new monitor may be more appropriate.
