According to the PDF spec sheet ...
hidden speakers
DVI w DHCP
component in (720p / 1080i)
composite in
RGB / VGA in

it's only a 19 though.



Frys.com sometimes has an Olevia 27in for $399.99.

btw, 720p >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1080i

the main thing to know is that p is progressive and i is interlaced. progressive means that the tv draws each horizontal line in a row, while interlaced draws every other line. progressive will end up with a clear, crisper image, while interlacing can result in flicker, unless you're dealing with static images.

for games or fast-paced movies, you want progressive, so even if you can go 1080i, you'd want 720p, unless you have the ability to do 1080p.

here's one i found:

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Polar...oductDetail.do

you may be put off by a polaroid tv, but you're not going to find much else for that price. and my mom has a 15" polaroid tv, and it's pretty nice. the price killer for you will probably be the widescreen.
