I have an old 20" HP LCD monitor that I don't want to throw away, so I was wondering: is there a place you could buy a replacement screen for these kind of monitors, or is it more worth it just to buy a new monitor altogether? If I can't use it I may just end up throwing it away or selling it for scrap.

Probably not worth trying to fix. I doubt it's user serviceable anyway, but let's wait for more informed input.
Consumer repairs are generally not cost effective.
So, no. Not really.

is it worth selling for scrap at all, or should I send this thing to the big trashcan in the sky?

You take it to a center and recycle it
I'm guessing it doesn't work?
Your initial post sounds like it's just an excess monitor. If that's the case, Craig's List or give to a friend?

Not only does it not work, the screen is completely cracked. I'll craigslist it, but if I don't get any bites I'll just hock it in the dumpster.

You can also extract the cathode backlight and have fun with that.
*Caution, cathode backlight system operates at a high voltage.
