Monitor Life

I have a 19" viewsonic A90 monitor. It is about 7 years old. Although it is a monster in size (sticks out 2 ft. to the back), it has great resolution and color. It has been acting up over the past few months. It will flash off for a few seconds and then flash on. It'll get white horizontal flashes across the screen once in a while and sometimes the colors will all fade lighter then flash back to normal. Seems like the tube is going.

1) What is the average life of a tubed monitor?

2) Is it worth getting it fixed?

3) I am interested in a flat screen/lcd/plasma monitor, what are the major differences.

4) Where is the best/cheapest place to buy a new monitor.

Thanks
