Ok, I hope this doesn't come off too stupid.

Basically I am in the market for a new widescreen tv, Not to crazy just something not too expensive but better than my ol' 1995 RCA ;)

But, I am also considering buying a mac mini... Which I would need a monitor for. So basically I am wondering is there a tv/monitor that could serve duel purpose? Would Apple's?

Get the Dell 2405fpw. It has DVI, VGA, Composite, Component, and S-Video. If you pluggin in a Hi-Def reciever then you could watch TV on it. Plus it has Pic in Pic so you can work on your computer and watch TV at the same time.

It doesn't have a tuner. You can however connect devices via s-video, composite RCA, DVI, or VGA. I have two computers, my TiVo, and my PS3 hooked to my 20-inch Dell.
