Default Flat Monitor / TV

I am after a 19" flat screen to use as a monitor but would also like it if were also a TV.

I think it is possible to get monitor/tv combo? Anyone recommend any?

Also are LCD screens just a TV?

Thanks for your help

Neil,

I've got a 15" monitor / tv and to be honest I wasn't as good as I'd hoped. Try before you buy would be my advice. I got mine free, so can't complain too much.

Thanks for the advise.

Really I need a flat panel monitor (space restrictions) but it would also be useful if it could also be used as a TV.

Anyone else any recommendations?

Although it is only 17", it is widescreen. Have one at home as a TV and it is excellent.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. Tiz the mutts nuts 20" though

Max rez: 1600x1200: 75kHz
Connector type : 15-pin D-subminiature (blue connector), DVI-D (white) ; S-video, composite

Does picture in picture too off any other other connectros

Edited to say: you'd need a tuner for this to be a full TV, so slap a connection in from a spare sky box/video/tv card etc
