HDMI Input and resolution of 1280 x 768 minimum, the rest should be something you like

Hi m8 depends on what you want to spend really 17-19" sets don't usualy come with HDMI as normaly used in kitchens and bedrooms but the sony 19" KVLS19A10 is a stunner @ around £599 but think I can do it cheaper where abouts are you?

FYI

HD runs @ 720 lines progressive and 1080 interlaced (SKY HD) and @ some stage this year with DVD BLUE RAY and HD DVD a poss 1950 lines

HD can be connected either by HDMI, DVI, or component video. The 19" Sony will run @ 720 interlaced via the component video connector

If the Sony is above the price that you are happy to spend then what I would recomend you stick to a good brand and not the korean rubbish as they normaly have quite poor picture quality and if you do want HD then the set has to have MIN 720 lines of resolution and look for HDMI, DVI, or component video, if it has any or all of these then you will be ok but most of all look @ the picture as it doesn't matter what the salesman has to say you are gonna be the one that looks @ it every day not him

Anyways that concludes our lesson on HDTV for today tune in same time next week for patch work quilts LOL

Hope this helps and good luck
