Alternate plan B:  I have a 19 inch LCD monitor (Planar
PL1910M)  with a failed fluorescent backlight.

plazmo.com sells LED replacements, and does customs.  
Their strips are "buy longer and cut to size".

I can imagine installing two Very Bright LED strips
(top and bottom) in that LCD monitor, with heat sinks
and a separate LED power supply. 

If This Works, is anyone else interested in kludging
their own superbright LCD/LED monitor?
