HDTV/Computer Monitor

I believe that around Christmas time I saw Zoso post a newegg link of a computer monitor that is also an hdtv? If anyone wants to recommend brands or links that would be great. Or are the monitors just hdtv's with vga outputs that you can hook your computer up to? I am definitely looking 19-21 inch hdtv/monitor, so if I am completely wrong in my assumption that they exist, please let me know

the one Zoso (none / 0)

let me know about was a Westinghouse 24" L2410M.
It's a little bigger, but definitely worth it. If you order from Sam's Club, you can get it for $330 + shipping. Plus it's 1080p.

  HDMI was lackluster, but VGA beats HDMI quality on other hdtvs.
  Good stuff!

  do you use it for tv, gaming and computer or just one or..? I usually stay away from Westinghouse because of the quality that it has lost over the years. 24 inches is a little big, but 330 sounds like a done deal to me...

  - Also I was looking at a picture (none / 0)
    
    and the hd component plug ins for the xbox are on one side and the regular plug ins(yellow, red, white) are on the other side of the monitor? How can that work?

    - the monitor doesnt use HD component (none / 0)
      
      you have to get a xbox 360 VGA cable.
      picture is VERY crisp (1080p after all) blu-rays look great on it as well.
