You can normally find a screen for about 60-100. If you've got time it takes about 30 minutes. Better is fixing lcd tvs. I picked up a 'dead' 56" samsung lcd, just blown caps.. $4 spent to digikey, some solder work, and *bam* perfect. :). Best $200 I spent on craigslist in a while

HP wants 375 for a new display and that makes it prohibitive for a laptop that was 800 14-18 months ago.... even if I do it.. or is does it matter where you buy the display.
