LCD Widescreen TVs, Samsung Electronics
$1,499.00 (15-inch), $2,099.00 (17-inch)

Thin, pretty and smart, Samsung Electronics's 15-inch (model number LTM1575W) and 17-inch (LTM1775W) LCD-TVs let you watch TV or video from any external source while simultaneously working on your computer. The 2.2-inch deep displays are HDTV and DTV-ready, have a built-in 181-channel TV tuner and connect to your Mac with a 15-pin D-sub VGA connector. Rear inputs include DVD, S-Video and RCA. A sexy tilt-stand is included, but the displays' wide-viewing angles (120 degrees vertically, 150 degrees horizontally) make them nice for wall mounting.

AQUOS Widescreen TV, Sharp Electronics
$7,999.95

No more glare! Sharp Electronics' AQUOS Widescreen 30-inch (model: LC-30HV2U) LCD TV is super bright and boasts a whopping 170-degree viewing radius. The three-inch deep display is HDTV-ready, has a built-in 181-channel TV tuner, S-Video and RCA inputs, and connects to your Mac via a 15-pin D-sub VGA connector. The detachable stand makes wall mounting easy; you can even hang them vertically by using the image inverter.  And they're also economical: AQUOS televisions use 60-percent less power than the average old-school TV.
