Looking for a desk monitor/TV

[dkane360]

My current display in my room is a Vizio VO22L, and it has served me well for a few years. Unfortunately, it now has a very audible noise when it's on, and its native panel resolution is only 1680x1050. Any recommendations for a display at least 22" and full 1080p native resolution? I'd like it to have a TV tuner as well, but its not a necessity.

Thanks!

How far do you sit dkane? The reason I ask is because are you sure you even need 1080p on a 22" TV? Well, I never research these sizes of displays, but a 22" at 16:9 with 1080p has a pixel density of 3803 per sq in. IOW, has one even been made? Hm, a quick google seems to point towards at least 24", and only as a computer monitor. 37" or perhaps 32" might be the smallest you can find with 1080p if a television. It might help to state a budget too.

Ok, I found this article, just posted today?

That's from 2008 . I just did a quick search on amazon. [http://www.amazon.com/VIZIO-M220MV-22-Inch-1080p-Backlighting/dp/B003GD9G6W/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1286841020&sr=1-7
I dont have a tape measure handy, but im like 1.5 arm lengths from the screen lol. I'll also use the tv for halo when we're system linking, and I'll probably have 2 people split screening. My budget is around 300, the less the better lol. Also, it would be nice to have the VESA mounting holes.

So I ended up purchasing the monitor that is on sellout.woot right now. It's a refurb'd HP, 25" for only 199. Not too bad.
