what to look for in TV

There are lots of "pc-to-TV converters" in the $20-50 range on Ebay.

What I need to know is exactly what feature on the TV to look for that will give me those audio/video inputs from the converters. There are 8 million TVs for sale, and I'm not sure I know what to look for to be sure I'm getting one for the converters.

I'll be going through lots of descriptions, and need those identifications.

Assuming you're going to buy an HD ready LCD or plasma set ...... you shouldn't need a convertor.

Most will have a VGA port so should connect directly to a computer via that. Failing that, DVI is a further option but you'll need a graphics card with DVI out to make use of that.
