With all the talk of 3D coming.

With all the talk of 3D coming I was wondering if a monitor I came into (free) a Sony Trinitron CPD-G520 ~ 21" flat screen would be worth while trying to fix? I flicked emails to "Sony's qualified repairer" who gave me a rough quote (unseen - it's too big for me to carry on public transport 30kg/66lb2oz) $450 for one part OR $45 for the other. The reason for raising the query is that council has banned 'ewaste' and to dispose it will cost $65 so that makes the $45 option good value and also gives cudos for recycling. I described the problem as horizontal rain see attached jpg(s) (Multiscan & Multiscan2). I believe the parts the techie was referring to are the $450 ?modulator? (jpg. SonyMultiScanTrinitron CRT) and the $45 ?tube? (jpg. SonyMultiScanTrinitron G520).

Resolution is; Horizontal 2048 dots Vertical 1536 lines
Input is; Analog RGB or SYNC signal
Power consumption is; 135W

There are no other Self diagnostic symptoms ie. normal functions present
So assuming this is correct (self diagnostics) please any ideas where I could purchase this part?

thats close to $500 to repair an old CRT. no way just but this Viewsonic VX2265wm 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor and NVIDIA 3D Vision Stereoscopic Glasses

full stereoscopic glasses you say hmmm......

NVIDIA 3D Vision Stereoscopic Glasses - Qty: 1 $199.99. So if I fixed the CRT for $45AUS and ran the highest resolution the glasses would work saving me purchasing the Viewsonic VX2265wm 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Qty: 1 $249.99. Oh no that won't work with my NvIdia GeForce 7600GT AGP. Bugga
