You're probably not gonna get anything decent in LCD for R2000 to R3000, unless it is very small (less than 26") or second hand...
What is the size of your current blown out TV? If you can't afford a better/newer HDTV, I recommend getting a cheaper, smaller LCD TV, over buying a ginormous CRT again. We're almost into the 2nd decade of the new millenium. CRT is a dinosaur!! IF you get a smaller LCD TV, you can always use it later on is a computer screen, when you decide to upgrade...
For about R5000 you can get an LG or Samsung 32" HD Ready LCD..
