20" monitor with vga and component inputs?

[86047]

I'm in the market for a 20" widescreen monitor with vga to connect my mac and xbox 360 ( my ibook doesn't support dvi), and component inputs to connect my wii. I'll probably use a kvm for the two vga connections, or just change them by hand as I do now.

Any suggestions?

Component input in a monitor is going to be pretty hard to find. Only a few models are available and I do not think there are any in a 20".

You can buy boxes that will convert component to VGA for sub $100. If you want to hook up a 360 this is probably the best route.

s-video and composite != component

they are also quite inferior visually

the 360 is not the problem. I have a vga cab le for the 360. I need a way to connect my wii and get full 480p (which anything lower than component input will not do, because otherwise, I'd get a dell 20incher that has s-vid)

I saw a 22 or 24 inch display on arstechnica on gaming on a budget. It was an LG, and I think it might be only available in canada.

I hope it's available here in the U.S.

I have a Gateway FPD2185W (20.1") that has: VGA, DVI, Composite, S-Video, and Component inputs. It supports up to 1080i.

Checkout Gateway.com to see the 22" model. They no longer sell the 20", and the 19" doesn't have Component. The 22" costs $379.99.

(Edit) I also have a 360 and a Wii connected to mine, both through Component using a switcher.
