I have a 12 year old Sony HDTV that's giving me an error code, something about overvoltage. TV model is KD-34XBR960 with a CRT flat tube. Called one repair shop that's 80 miles away, they can fix it for about $350 in my house.

Is it worth it or should I put the $350 towards a new TV.

If the combined wisdom of The Creek says thumbs down to the repair what would be a decent TV to buy? Not looking to break the bank maybe $500.
