Whatever you can until you get a new one...

Personally, I would have chosen the good old scattergun

Is the resolution on the TV good enough to read size 10 fonts easily?

('tis always better to ressurect an old thread then start one on the same topic, right?)

Sooo, my old moniter crapped out (I have a new one now), and I like taking apart electronic stuff (Amp, speakers, several old car radios, coffee grinder, VCR, cordless phone, printers, probably a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten).
Moniters have scary voltage running through them though, and I've heard the capacitors can hold a charge for a long time (it's been unplugged for about a month now).
Is there any way to drain all the nastyness out so I can partake of dissasembaly without killing myself?
I don't have any sort of professional electronic dealies (multimeter, soldering iron, <insert thing I've never heard of>)

Get another one. I personally don't buy into the "I have to have a flat screen like the jonses" crap. Get a huge 21' monitor for around $200.

You'll need to open up the casing and discharge the beefy looking capacitors inside to be safe. If you forget to discharge the capacitor, your finger may become the discharge path. You only make this mistake once! Discharging capacitors is as simple as creating a short circuit between the two terminals and from each terminal to ground. This can be done safely with a well insulated screwdriver.

Okay, I know it won't work in this day and age, but years ago, I had my monitor go out on my old 386. I used to run a BBS, and literally for nearly 2 months, I ran it with my "Print Scrn" key!! I'd do something, hit print screen.... print out what I was doing. Type a little more. Repeat. Was very tedious, and with a dot matrix printer... damn loud too.
