That is about the price range I had in mind. I am finding it harder
and harder to read the computer screen. A 24 inch I hope will help.
Also I have seen a few 1080P files on the Internet, I want a monitor
that will display those.

First time the flat tuners became affordable, $500 seems a good
figure, though I paid more a couple years ago, there's no way I'd now
be interested in less than 32". I've kept my old Samsung, a LCD 19"
swivel (for pagemode WProcessing) for getting into something quick (a
build or problem related), but for reading -- that always has been
less than ideal. First early single-scan LCDs on laptops, grey and
green scales, back- or non-back lit. I welded bedrails to accommodate
a couple 19" CRTs, by then starting grate on me (120lbs of balancing),
although I've running two monitors since 15 and 17" CRTs. LCD and
brilliant white backgrounds for black text wasn't always the case.

Before this 32" LCD television tuner (an older Olevia same-model, made
both w/ and w/out the tuner for computers), that started as a tuner,
but didn't take long to grab me as suitable for computer screen
replacements. So added another, a commercial grade give-away sale 37"
NEC, a year ago for $599, both w/ television LCD tuners, and both
being run by computers. Hardly watch an aerial broadcast anymore.
Reading's great, though. So's listening to and somewhat distantly
reading PDF sheet music, or watching all but the oddball video encode
formats, although the latter's transpositions and aesthetics would
variously be an individual determination, conceivably requiring a
little reading up on broadcast engineering. I kept it simple, though,
and the only thing I've done is update OEM desktop drivers for
1366x768 native displays from these older AGP boards, which suffices
now for the display setting. Games, CAD, photo or video editing, all
are secondary to reading text the way I it, the same way my eyes like
me to print books.
