Hi Tom,

You should be able to find a monitor that works for you. It depends on 
what type of outputs your video player(s) have. I have a Dell 24" LCD 
that I have had for about 3 or 4 years and it has 5 inputs, VGA, DVI, 
component (common for most DVD players), S-video, and plain old 
composite (yellow RCA jack). Most newer ones also have HDMI.

Many big screen TV's also have VGA inputs these days but may not support 
the higher resolutions much past 1080, while larger monitors (like 24") 
can go up to 1920.
