How about a third option (if you are feeling brave) - a trip to ebay to look for a broken TV of the same make and model, preferably one with a broken screen, but working electronics.
Best of luck if you go this route.

That falls under option 'a'

LED type or other. If other, it may be just the backlight.

What's the price for 1/2 hour of your work force? 1/2 hour = estimated time to think about the problem, post whining on CP and read the answers.

At least if you survive Ebola, you won't be ostracised by the rest of society.

Actually, you are factually incorrect here. At least if you live in rural parts of Africa, which you don't but...

Ebola survivors can spread the virus in their sperm for up to three months and should refrain from sex for that period.
I do not know what the recommendation is after surviving a Kardashian.

As those who follow my ramblings are aware, I have a quite portable windows laptop, but it's a bit large as a device for flying with. (No, I don't mean I don't need a plane. C'mon people!)
So, I'm looking at 8 or 9 inch tablet. As I want it to be legit tax deductible for my side job company, I'd want to have the ability to edit Word documents on it, with highlighting, and edit history maintained. (I do proofreading for furriners writing academic papers in English, and they'd be peeved if I messed up their doc's table formatting and annotations).
Anyone with experience running Office Mobile on android? Can you work without an internet connection for a while? (ie, on a plane!)? Does the one drive stuff give you local copies on your laptop?
And any recommendations for a nice but not daft expensive tablet? I'm tempted by the LG 8.3 one, and also tempted to wait a few weeks for the Nexus 9.

I've not tried highlighting or edit history, but I use Kingsoft Office[^] on my Nexus 7, and it works just fine - it also claims to be 100% compatible with MS Office, so it should do what you want.
I'd be tempted to try a Kingsoft/Dropbox combo for flights (but I'd want a real keyboard for any serious typing).

Well, for the work I'm thinking of (proofreading), I kinda hope the writing will be the minority, so on screen wouldn't bee too bad. I wouldn't dream of creating documents without a real keyboard though!
