Types

The cheapest TVs come in two types: old-fashioned CRT TVs and small LCD TVs. As of 2010, you could get a 27-inch CRT or 15-inch LCD for $250.
Size
-
CRT TVs used to come in a range of sizes, but now that manufacturers are scaling back on their production of CRTs, the largest you can find new is 27 inches. If you buy a used one then you will have a better selection. LCDs come in sizes from 7-inches to 108-inches, but a cheap one will be around 15 inches.

Benefits
-
For your money, you can get a bigger CRT than LCD. The CRT will come with several drawbacks, however, including inferior picture quality and bulkiness. The main advantage of a CRT TV is cost. An LCD, although smaller, will have a better picture quality and will take up less room in your home. You can even stick it on the wall.
