Regarding the "Is it worth it?" question, part of the answer is if you value the knowledge gained in the repair process for this set, and if you anticipate repairing more flat-panel TVs in the future. For this specific set, you may already be at the point of diminishing returns considering the likely quality/value of the set when you finish compared to what you can buy new today (1080p, built-in HD tuner for under $500, neither of which this set probably has). This one is probably 1024x768 (yes, non-square pixels), the typical "HD" resolution for 42" plasma sets before the 1080p models came out.
