looking for a new monitor

As some of you might know, I’m going to be in work term. So I will have a bit of money to spend, and I’ve already decided to spend it on 2 new monitors. It’s about time to go the LCD way. Been looking high and low and really haven’t found what I want. Though through my research, I’ve realize the line between monitor and tv is starting to blur. The difference is mostly in the price, I mean stuffing a tv tuner in a lcd mon isn’t that technically difficult, the companies out there just like to charge you a hell lot for it. Anyway if I had my way, I would get a LCD mon with the following specs:

  • 1x DVI, 1x d-sub input
  • WUXGA (for the less techi it’s 1920X1200 res)
  • 1x Component, 2x s-video, 2x composite input
  • built-in tv tuner /w remote
  • p-in-p
  • xbrite
  • 19" viewable area
  • a $1000 price tag

is that really a lot to ask for?  Dont’ think so. ….and yes I still need 2 of these.
