I saw later I did not answer your question, but perhaps gave
you a better option, IF you would like to save some physical
space on "the desk". (Ditch the TV and the CRT...)
(OTOH, I have a 5-6" color TV velcroed on top of my CRT as I speak..)
In another room...
I call mine (LCD) a TV since it has a modern (digital) tuner (+analog).
Anything "with-out" a tuner I call a Monitor.
Trying to be clearer, mine is (or at least does) BOTH.
I select all inputs on the LCD screen with a remote control..
(There are 8 or 9 listed, including "TV".)
Mine has all sorts of inputs, all you list except maybe DVI-I
(I don't use that one but have one that sounds similar.)
I can't use the component (Video+L+R) and S-Video inputs at the same time.
One OR the other, on each "pair" of those inputs.
Be careful of limitations of any "shared" input types...

So basically, as long as the monitor has multiple inputs, I should be able
to select the input on the monitor? Is this a valid statement?
Her pc has a NVidia 6200 gc in it. It can output S-Video, VGA and DVI-I
ports on it. It can do 1600 x 1200 max resolution.
The GameCube can output in RGB or S-Video.
Thanks,
Bobby

Look for an ATSC TV with a VGA input.
This would be the easiest to use with an "older"
computer with limited numbers of outputs.
Just be sure the computer video memory can handle the
default VGA resolution the LCD will "require"...

My 12 y/o has a desktop PC with a 17"CRT and a TV on her desk so she can
play her GameCube. I'd like to get her an LCD monitor (probably 17"-19")
that either 1) has inputs so she could use it for her PC or her GameCube,
or
2) some sort of switching mechanism (I guess like a KVM switch) where she
could switch sources for the monitor.
