I'm thinking of heading over to frys this weekend
to pick up an LCD TV
for use with a few classic computers and maybe classic gaming
consoles. I'd like something that will have good image quality for
use with things like Amigas and c64s. I'd like to avoid things like
submarining mouse pointers, ghosting around letters (ringing?) and
aspect ratio problems.
A VGA port would be nice also. Bonus for being able to use the NTSC
frequencies when the signal is coming from the VGA port so I can
attach the amiga right to that. Obviously, I'd want a composite and
svga input also. Even coax would be useful in case I pick up a 2600
or colecovision.
Can anyone suggest a make and model that has all of this?

I've found the Acer 19" V193B is a good monitor - it is 1200/1600 so
the
aspect ratio is the same as monitors/TVs. VGA input. We also are using a
small PCB (Chinese I'm sure) that converts CGA/EGA/etc to VGA successfully.
