Replacing a screen on a Toshiba laptop?

I've got a crack in the screen on my laptop. It is getting bigger. I wonder if it would cost more to replace it then it would to just junk it and get a new laptop. It is a Satellite L675-S7108. I don't know if I could replace it myself. I've only had the pc for a couple years and I don't know if I want to replace it. Plus all the new ones are going to run Windows 8, which I hate.

So how much does it cost (approximately) to replace a 17.3 inch screen?

    2. Remove the screws on the bezel.

    3. Using your fingertips start at the top and pull the bezel off going down one side at a time and bottom last.
