For a TV, this is a good model:

I own the this 24inch monitor below, and its a god. It even does 1080p (Has HDMI, DVI, Comp, and other hookups)

(That links to an open box, so don't get it.. they make a newer one at 5ms now below)
I like my stand better than this new looking one.. but hey, no biggie. And it looks like this doesn't go vertical. (I moved mine vertical, and played the MAME 80's games--centipede, donkey Kong, and that was the exact way they were in the arcades, it was so killer. (Mame even has options for tilting screens, and can rotate the screen to match!)

Just remember, LCD is a bit hotter than Plasma. You may hear the fans in it if you are in a quite room. Shop Newegg, if nothing but some testimonials and cons.
Oled's are coming too, but you'll pay out your ass for the newness factor.
