If you're prepared to do your own repairs a 16:9 CRT set is probably within your price range. Around here a load of dead ones are starting to hit the junk market. I've seen them sell for between $20 and $50. Sometimes less for those Vestel/Teac 66cm sets (not the nicest thing around, but if they share their basic design with the 4:3 sets they're easy to work on).
I've yet to try my luck with one, partly due to lack of space, partly as 16:9 just doesn't really excite me that much at the moment. It would also break my $2 TV rule which I can easily stick to with 4:3 sets.
