I love my 17in Initial HDTV. see: http://www.initialdvd.com/

At $596 at WalMart or Circuit City you get a lot of bang for the buck. The
built in DVD is great! and the HDTV performance is about as good as it gets
at an arms length viewing distance.

I used it for a while as PC monitor and it works good but decided I wanted
to watch HDTV while I did my computing so now I use two displays.

Enjoy!

I have a Samsung 192MP which is a 19" LCD Monitor/TV combo and I love
it. I also have the smaller 15" 150MP. I got my 192MP for $400.00 which
was lucky. CompUSA was selling it with a rebate for about $550.00. They
can be had on eBay for around $450.00 to $500.00.

The 19" 192MP is capable of HDTV, i.e. it is HDTV ready. I don't
believe the Initial HDTV mentioned above can be used as a standard
computer monitor, and I would imagine it is HDTV ready rather than true
HDTV with an HD tuner built in.

The Initial is only HDTV Ready (no HD tuner) but it does work good as a PC
monitor (1280x760 res).
