Well as much as I don't really want to recommend a Dull - I mean Dell, they
do a 19" (48cm) widescreen LCD screen with TV capability with
picture-in-picture support to watch TV while you work on the computer or
vice versa and a resolution of 1280x768.

The P/P (PIP, POP, PBP) feature supports viewing of two content sources
simultaneously, but not two TV channels unless the viewer has an additional
TV tuner. 

It is currently going for 20% off: Aus$1040  Price valid to : 5/8/2005 so
you'd better order online tonight if you're not already to late!

And I have to admit it actually looks relatively stylish (for a Dell!):

We're looking at getting the 24" widescreen Dell LCD for work which features
composite video inputs as well as VGA and DVI, the same picture in picture
capabilities as the monitor above, a resolution of 1900x1200 but it doesn't
have a TV tuner built-in.  The current special is Aus$1,440.
