I'm on the lookout for a flatscreen monitor or TV/monitor to replace the 
broken CUB and possibly broken Mitsubishi monitors I have for my beebs. I'd 
like to get the beebs working again. I googled "Samsung SM910MP", but only 
got a couple of hits in Russian, and similarly couldn't find anyone selling 
172MP (I guess it's obsolete).

If I'm looking for a capable monitor/TV, what H & V scan ranges should I 
look for (especially the low end, I'm sure that the high end will be 
sufficient for any current monitor)? I quite like the idea of the 172MP, the 
native resolution of 1280x1024 should ensure nice upscaling from most of the 
beeb's resolutions.

I'm living in the USA, so need to identify models I can find here, which 
makes a composite video or s-video input important (TV tuner inputs will 
likely be NTSC here).
