About a year ago I purchased a fantastic 65 inch flatscreen Mitsubishi used for 140 bucks. It's wonderful and still working perfectly. I got it for so cheap because it isn't a flat panel so nobody wanted it. It looks as good as any of the new displays I see. And it's true that buying it used provided me with no warranty and it breaks I just have to buy a new one, but for 140 USD it'd have to break about 10 times before I paid as much as a new one, and it's over a year with no problems already.
