What is the cheapest High Def 19" LCD that I could get?

[leglez]

I am wanting to get a high def monitor to use with an Xbox 360 and PS3. I was planning on getting one of these:

Here

But I don't think they support high definiton. Are there any 19" LCD Monitors under $200 that are High Definition? I would like Wide Screen but its not required. Also I don't know a lot about High Definition so those might be high definition and I am just not looking in the right spot. Also I will not be doing PC gaming on these.

wait, do you want a computer monitor or a small HDTV? monitors aren't usually labeled "high-def", one reason being their aspect ratios are not 16:9, but another being their resolution is often pretty far above that of an HDTV.

You could get a 20" widescreen 2007WFP for under $400 and probably have a great time gaming on it, or if you want 4:3/5:4 oldschool square resolutions you could pick up a cheap 19" anything that would probably do you fine.

Ok so do Console Game Systems not have High Def out cables? Like the Red Green Blue White cables. Or does it just go through DVI/VGA? If it goes through DVI/VGA I will just get the hanns-g

either of them can render 720p (not sure but i think 1080i as well) . but not 1080p

You do not want to get a 5:4 aspect ratio monitor if your primary use is for the Xbox 360, so you should go for the widescreen. Both monitors could be considered "high-def" for this purpose.

You will need to buy an Xbox VGA connector to use these monitors, which will cost extra. Your you can spend a little more, and get a monitor with video input, such as this one:

Xbox VGA connectors are available on eBay in the $15 shipped pricerange.

One of those, plus the Hanns 19" is a good option, if you don't need to tune TV channels on your monitor.

These displays will not support 1080i or 1080P natively. Only 900i or 900P max as they are 1440x900. Since I don't know of any 900 outputs I recommend a monitor with native 720 vertical resolution.

These are non interlaced LCDs so the do the max resolution progressive or 900P or 720P, they don't have HDMI which is nothing but stupid encryption, which has no reason to be lower quality but might force lower quality with encrypted content which is a stupid as it gets in my opinion.

You just need to hands the outputs on your monitor and it should work, don't know about HDMI. Personally I am not interested in either for these very problems.
