What about using a normal monitor but having a tv card on your pc? Digital ones are less than £50 now and your computer can play dvd's anyway!

There is a Sony computer in a TV thing.. Not sure how much it costs or how good...

Might be better to go the Media Centre route, although that is supposed to be a rocky road.. Be prepared
for driver issues, updates, more issues and also incompatibility issues!! Although a friend of mine has put
one together, but it was after a few hard (costly!) lessons learnt..

Or go for a HD ready 19-23" widescreen telly. Most can handle a decent enough resolution to run a pc

It will need to have a VGA input, thats the same connection that goes to your existing monitor.
