Replacement screens are usually around $200-$300. If the laptop is over a year old it is probably not worth it.

Screen replacements are not for the faint of heart. If it's an older laptop, it would be easiest to get a whole upper panel assembly, including the screen, inverter, and case. If it's newer, the screen alone might be the only option. If you do it yourself, it could be as low as $100 for a screen assembly from an older laptop, or the previously mentioned $200-300 for a newer screen. If you get it professionally done, you are looking at more like $500-800... which is a lot.
