This Gateway FPD248W monitor is a good recommendation. This is a 24 inch PC monitor with over 2 million pixels. It is better then a 1080P since it has 1920 X 1200 in resolution. 1000:1 contrast ratio is a little low but it has a nice 6ms response time. Using a HDMI to DVI adapter this monitor would work fine with HDCP devices like BLU-RAY. **The only thing to remember this is a computer monitor with no speakers. You will need either a surround system or cheap amplified computer speakers that accept a RCA jack plugged into the back of the BLU-RAY player**.

The second best option is a 30” Widescreen CRT Sanyo 1080I. This HDTV set sales for $448 at Walmart. Walmart has it labeled as a 720P display since it does not do full 1920 X 1080. All CRT’s that are labeled 1080I have a resolution around 1300 X 1080 since no one has been able to produce a HDTV CRT with full 1080I resolution. The average CRT on the marekt has a contrast ratio of 50:000:1. This Sanyo also has both an ATSC and QAM tuner. So you can watch in the clear HDTV channels with an antenna or cable tv service.
