I'd try and get one with hdmi to be on the safe side, you can get hdmi to dvi cable but i havent a clue whether they'll work fine with all future blu ray dvd players, hd dvd players etc. If its a big tv, its not really a good sign if it doesnt have hdmi seeing as nearly every big lcd has hdmi.

It's only a 19". Probably not the best size for my 360.

ah ye 19inch lcd's usually dont have hdmi so wouldnt worry about hdmi for that size, component and vga work fine with the 360. I was using a 19inch samsung lcd with my 360 through component until i got a 32inch.

I am looking at the Samsung SyncMaster 940MW. I have heard good things about it but I don't know if to buy this T.V. or buy a cheap monitor and play the 360 over VGA.
