    Let me stop you there, it seems like you're going down the wrong path.
    The fact that you're looking for a TV within the "2 digit price range" gives me the impression you're not sure what you're doing. An LCD TV for that price? Its not going to happen.

    You don't need a TV with TV-out. If you get video splitters then you can have one video cable for your TV and one going to your capture card.
    Or, the Xbox 360 S-Video/Composite cable has 2 video cables. When I record I plug the S-Video cable in to my capture card and the Composite (the yellow cable) in to the TV because S-Video is a bit better than composite (but still sucks compared to VGA or HD)

    Thanks for the info.

    I have an Easycap 9.0 video capture device and a CRT (SD) television with one scart socket. If I obtain a video splitter, will this be enough (forgetting the quality for a second)?

    if you obtain a splitter as to split the video between your TV and Capture card, yes.
