You can buy a box that converts what your vhs player uses to convert to hdmi for your flatscreen for under $25.00 from Amazon.
You mentioned a broken screen, and I have a story for you: my brother broke the screen on his 5 week old Sony mini led 70 something inch screen. He paid $2500 for the set. There was a bat flying around his living room so he tried to catch it with an aluminum pole fishing net. He whacked the wall mounted TV and shattered the screen. Warranty didn’t cover it and the screens are built not to be replaced. He was out the whole $2500. Sony told him to pretty much “pound sand”.
