Join the local Freecycle mailing list. Either wait for someone to offer a TV, or post a "Wanted" message. Folks who've bought flatpanel sets are literally giving away decent CRT TVs. It wouldn't hurt to watch Craigslist, Kijijijijiji, etc for ads as well, and cruise thrift stores.
If you've got a few hundred bucks to spare, with some luck you may be able to score a monster CRT HDTV. While they were big and very heavy, the picture quality could be superb, and they might well outlive many of the flatpanel displays sold today. Don't ignore eBay, if you can find one within pickup distance. The cost of shipping should deter most other bidders.
