I feel you man. I went shopping for a new TV this weekend. Its really amazing how you can get nothing for $400.
. I tried Best Buy, Circuit City, Dude-On-The-Corner...nothing except some funny name brand called "Insignia" which i am not sure of at all. I will try E-Bay though. My friend got a plasma for $700 and it retailed for close to $1600 or so.
Right now i own a 19" tube TV with mono speaker and no remote control. 
I got a 19" tube tv too. I hook it up to my stereo, so I get a pretty good sound.
But I hate the way these companies price the TVs. 400 is way too much for a 19"
And dont even think about shopping for a regular tube tv, cuz the store only has one, and they dont even plug it in, they just keep it in the corner lookin all dusty
