I can't speak for LCD TVs, but I've had good luck with LCD monitors that have failed. Most of the faults are in either the solder joints on the backlight inverter - or it (the inverter) just pops its fuse. Have recently resurrected three at work that just needed a fuse and they're still chugging along. I figure they get one free fuse replacement; any more than that and I'll have to start looking for problems.
