Was browsing Frys today and noticed that the Sony SDM-V72W has a $200 rebate [good till June 30th]
These monitors are great, especially if you view a lot of widescreen content. I personaly bought one of these over the Winter because I needed a replacement monitor, and wanted to get something with HDTV capatability. You can hook up devices like camcorders, VCRs, DVD players and video game systems either with standard compsite, S-Video, or Component inputs. If you use the component cables, you can view high definition images [the monitor supports 480i/p, 520p, 720p, and 1080i]. The only things lacking are a TV Turner and PIP support.
