Sure, the sets we're about to mention would be a fair bit more interesting if they rocked an integrated high-definition disc player, but nevertheless, Toshiba did take the time to crank out a pair of new LCD TV / DVD combos at CES. Kicking things off is the 19-inch 19LV505 (19LV506 in glossy white), which offers up a chassis depth of 2.64-inches, HDMI / PC inputs and support for WMA, MP3, JPEG and DivX files. Stepping it up is the 22-inch 22LV505, which boasts a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, a five-millisecond response time, a depth of 2.95-inches and support for the same files already mentioned. Grab one for the kids at $479.99 / $599.99.

When will the 22" be available? I need something like this 4 my kitchen ASAP!

Why can't they just go up to 1080i? I just want a (cheap) 1080i capable monitor on my computer and all the manufactures consistently continue to come up 30 lines short. I have a Dell Latitude D820 which comes with 1920X1080 resolution built in on the LCD so why is it such a problem to provide this same resolution on non-laptop LCD's? It seems like there's some kind of behind the scenes industry cabal/conspiracy prohibiting the production of 1080i capable 17 to 22 inch LCD monitors for computers.

No reports without photos, please. There's no rush. No more photo-less writes, please. Thanks, and welcome to the 21st century!

Bah, I got a 24" computer monitor with HDMI-in and an upscaling DVD player for the combined price of Toshiba's 19" combo. That gives me a superior MVA panel and full 1080P with 1:1 pixel mapping! The only reason to buy a small "television" now is if you really have to have a built-in tuner, which is really unnecessary if you have a cable box, TiVo, or DVD-recorder.
