Got an LCD flat panel 46 inch TV from Insignia, and came home from work today to play xbox. Turned it on, and I could hear the xbox just fine, but the screen was pitch black. Upon getting closer to the screen, you can barely make out what is on the screen. After much guessing where I was on the input I managed to switch it over to TV, and the same deal, screen only visible when you are 1 cm away, and still perfect audio.

So after googling, it seems it is an issue with the backlight (or backlight inverter) But how much is this to fix? I just spent $1400 on parts to build my new computer, and I really don't want to have to shell out another $1000 for a new tv :(
