How much did televisions cost in 1980?

In 1978 I was 18, newly on my own, and renting my first apartment (for $195 a month). One day my tiny black and white portable TV was blown off the kitchen window sill by a gust of wind and broke (perched on the kitchen window sill with the antenna pointed out the open window was the only place in the apartment it would pick up a station). I was without TV for several weeks until I saved up enough money and bought the least expensive new color set I could find, a portable 19" RCA XL100 for $325 "on sale!" at K-mart. What luxury. The big floor model color TVs (25") with a fancy wooden cabinet were around $600, which was way out of my price range. I'm sure the prices were about the same in 1980.
