Basically, I don't think it is possible to take a good picture that shows both a live picture and a nice view of the cabinet. A shot of the screen never looks good unless the black level of the screen is pretty dark. Especially on early TVs with rather light colored phosphor and no glass tinting, this means the actual lighting has to be very low, or near zero.
Getting a nice view of the cabinet, on the other hand, requires that the ambient light combined with the camera setting be sufficient to give a nice grayscale. I would generally say these two are mutually exclusive, and it really isn't possible to take a picture that does justice to both.
This surprises people, because our own perception of what we see seems much better than what gets captured by a camera. In reality, our eyes adjust to the black level on the screen giving a perception of it being darker than it really is.
The only picture posted above which attempts to show both cabinet and screen is the one by Peter Scott. However, note that the lighting in that case shades the screen very well, so that it would almost be black without an image on the screen.
If you can light the cabinet in a manner that does not light up the screen, it will work, but in general, that gives a poor view of the front of the cabinet.
Photoshopping, of course, can put a nice picture on a good shot of the cabinet, but I have to admit I don't like them, because it's immediately obvious that the photo is not a genuine single shot. On the other hand, others may find that less objectionable.
I simply end up taking two shots -- one of the cabinet (which may or may not include a completely washed-out picture) and one of the screen in low light.
Getting a good shot of the screen in low lighting is another challenge. Similar to many of the comments above, I find it's generally a good idea to use a manual setting with a low exposure (set the camera for a dark picture). I also seem to do best with both the brightness and contrast of the set pretty low.
