A lot depends on whether you are looking for a PC monitor or HDTV.

Widescreen 19" LCD PC monitors from well known manufacturers are less than
$200 (US) from reputable dealers like buy.com, BestBuy, etc.

While I doubt that many people would be interested in such a small screen
for HDTV, the ToteVision LCD-1901HD ($1169 list) supports NTSC/PAL although
it doesn't appear to include a tuner. On the ToteVision web page there are
huge discrepancies between the "Specifications" and "User Manual" so it's
impossible to determine the real capabilities and tell fish from foul but
19-22" 1080p HDTVs with built-in tuner and PC inputs from well known
manufacturers and reputable dealers sell for about half of the quoted
"discounted" price.

Plus - a story in today's NYT recommends waiting til January when dealers
will be dumping excess inventory.
