>can you even replace the CCFL back on these panels?

- the odds of you being able to remove the old lamps and to replace with LEDs without breaking something critical is around 1%
- LEDs get hot and need to be thermally coupled to some substantial piece of metal. CCFLs dont need that so it may not be present
- LEDs will typically need a 48V (or more) supply that's current limited; that adds cost and complexity

so the real fix is this: visit a local thrift store or three.
before the recent inflation hit, you could get 24-inch ones at $10 and 27-inches at $15.
the ones that incorporate both TV and monitor usually have a shittier display.

it's silly to spend time and money on making a monitor from a laptop display when you can get monitors of the same size for $6 to $10 at the thrift store.
