Consumer Electronics FYI

Televisions contain environmentally harmful components like heavy metals and chemicals. Having  your tv repaired and keeping it inside your home and not in garbage dumps and the land-fills means it does not go out there to do major damage to mother Earth. Considering what is happening to our planet, I believe this is one of the most important considerations when you are trying to work the buy or repair dilemma. If it can be fixed, why not do it (actually, this goes for CRT TVs, too)?
