Often just a loose connection on Red or Blue.

Oops. Too late.

... to get a new display for my pc.

What video ports?
If it's a CRT vintage PC, it's apt to be VGA only.

I would like to get an lcd tv that I can hook
up to the computer so I have the best of both worlds.

On a modern PC, with DVI, I suspect you'd be looking
for a TV with DVI in or HDMI with a DVI adaptor.

Anything in the 20"-32" range is fine.

Wide? or 4:3

20-30in wide HD TVs will be likely 1366x768. SDTVs less.
31in and higher might be 1920x1080, but probably not
at any price you'd care to pay.

Any thoughts on which one to buy?

I'd be more tempted to get a PC monitor and a DTV
converter box (if I really wanted TV, which I don't).

I'm not too worried about manufacturer ...

Good thing, as few "brands" actually make what they sell.

... but the vizio's seem to be ok units??

No opinion really, but wouldn't lean toward them myself.
