My friend has an old hard cabled DVR for his business. His DVR only supports EIDE HDD's and the only video outputs supported are BNC and VGA. The Viewsonic vg930mLCD monitor is having issues. It'll turn on and show video briefly but then after a few seconds the screen goes blank even though the LCD is still on (the blue power LED is still lit). Power cycling the LCD brings the video back for a few seconds but then the diplay goes blank again. Is it worth it to get this old LCD panel repaired or would it be better to get a new one? Also, since the LCD is powered on 24-7 do I need to get a special replacement LCD that won't suffer burn-in from being continuously turned on? He doesn't have the money or inclination to get a new surveillance camera system installed.
