I need to buy a new TV, preferably a 24" flatscreen. Is it possible to find one for 200,000 or less? Is there any good market to check out? I've heard there's a good area to look around Nambu Bus Terminal, but I'm open to any suggestions.

That sounds pretty cheap. My 19" LCD monitor was 320,000.

i'm not looking for an LCD or flatpanel TV, just a flatscreen. more along the lines of a sony trinitron wega crt or a samsung dynaflat tv.

I think I've seen pretty cheap TVs like that. Not sure. Lotte Mart? I dunno. Some of these places are overpriced and don't bargain.

I think mine's 24 inch and it's a flatscreen. I didn't buy it, but I think my boss paid 70,000 for it. Used. Samsung. I never watch the damn thing though. If you just want a simple TV like that, I don't see why you'd have to pay much.

Check a few used furniture shops. Most of the stuff is junk, but there are a few gems there sometimes. I scored a pretty nice tv cheap and you can bargain with them a bit.

www.danawa.com is good for shopping electronics, but seeing as CRT 24" has pretty much gone out of production, I guess you need to look at the used market for that one.

U should be able to pick up a brand new 29" Daewoo for about 250 000 though. Not bad.
