Question : Problem: Fixing a Dell, 2407WFPb Monitor: Cracked front

We have a 24" flat screen, Dell 2407WFPb that's only about a year old.  Kids hit it with a baseball or something and the clear front plastic dented and cracked right in the center of the viewing area.  The device still gets power but the image is scattered and unreadable.

Is this worth repairing?  Should I send it out or attempt the fix myself (moderate experience replacing components)?
