BINGO!

That's what I'm trying to determine

I did see where Samsung makes a combo TV/display with
high resolution but the smallest is 26" I think

The Samsung T240HD 24" is available at 1920x1080 but it doesn't pop up
on their website under LCD televisions; Vizio, a smaller player in the
market, has a 22" and 24" in that resolution. For TV, the Vizio (I
have one of the slightly older model, 1680x1050) has one major
problem; it cannot ADD digital channels and rescanning erases the
"skip" list. I'm told that Samsung has that issue correct.

Costco sells (or did last month) this unit. It's beautiful there. The
internet says it has poor sound from its internal speakers, likely
from its monitor heritage.

Thanks for the info, sir.

A poster earlier suggested this Toshiba Tv/Monitor.
It's also American.

Have a look,it 1080p etc and got a pretty good revue.

Given the use as a computer monitor wouldn't I want a
1080p set as well to get the best use as computer
monitor?

What resolution do you currently use on your monitor, and what can your
video card supply? If your computer is newer, you probably do want an
1920x1080 monitor.

Be warned, some TVs do not support full resolution through the VGA
connector. To be sure you get full resolution, count using a PC video card
with an HDMI output. If this isn't available, check the TV manual before
you buy for the maximum supported PC resolution.

They also sell a 24" version. I have both (T240HD and
the T260HD) and they suit my needs perfectly. Samsung
also sells the T200HD and T220HD which are the same except
with a 1680x1050 resolution. Any one of them would likely
make you perfectly happy.

The 22" Vizio I bought last month has an "Add On Ch Search", which I
used several times after rotating the antenna.

Good: With the backlight off, it draws only 27W.
Bad: INFO shows only the current program. The zoom, PIP etc functions
on the remote are "not available".

1280 x 800 for my laptop

But desktop might display higher

At arm's length I see quite a difference between 1080 and 720. In the
store the Vizio's picture quality was about as good as the larger
sets.

I agree with Picture Quality as a TV ... VERRRRRY little difference on
a 50", less on 22" or 24" ... but I PERSONALLY very much prefer
1920x1200 over 1680x1050 for a computer monitor. AND some graphics
cards (my Dell, for example) don't offer the 1680x1050; a friend used
1280x1024 and it stretches it out ... I don't like it, he does.

It is a matter of taste and computer capabilities.

I found the opposite, the diffence in tv progs (HD) was much more
pronounced on my 22" set as opposed to my 42" and yet my 22" is only
720p and the 42" is 1080p.....work that out!....very strange.
