Sorry if this is a post to the wrong group, but here goes anyway.

I am looking for a high-quality wall-mount display device...widescreen
16:9 but only 13" maximum height. I would like plasma or LCD for the
picture quality.

It will accept the signal from component video from an OTA digital
tuner.

Therefore, having a built-in TV tuner is superfluous..oh yea, it must
display 1080i res.

Are there computer oriented products (like Dell or Gateway) and
notebook display monitors that I should be looking for, that when
combined with some kind of converter, that can do the trick?

I can't get answers from the manufacturers.

Any help is much appreciated.

For LCD you could buy one of the new widescreen laptops that run at 1920 x 1200
and hang it up :)
Seriously though, I haven't seen any stand alone LCD displays with that kind of
resolution. They are usually 1024x768 and look terrible displaying HD. Very
soft pictures.

You might try calling a dealer, like monitoroutlet.com
or ask around in the Plasma/LCD section of avsforum.com.
or hdtvoice.com.

A monitor like that will probably convert the 1080i input to it's native
720p.
I think...
