Suggest a reasonably priced monitor!

Could some people make suggestions on what they use (or wish they used) for an NTSC monitor (SD) for theitr workflow. Seems like evryone is saying it is critical to view your work on the medium that it is probably going to be viewed (delivered) on. In my case that is a television set. that means I need a decent monitor but I don't have a large pocketbook. Right now I have an old Zenith that I connect via the old yellow video RCA connector (I know, I know) which is probably better than nothing as long as it is adjusted right. But I need something more advanced. What do you suggest??
Thanks in advance.

I use this JVC 15" . If you can find one, at the right price, well I haven't been disappointed. I don't view/adjust=Colour Correct=Colour Curves . .etc etc . . ANYTHING unless it is "proofed" through this monitor. And yes, I too had a "tv" as a monitor for a good few months! Got this one and it raised my editing skills up several notches AND my camerawork too! LOL!

If you aren't planning in the near-term to go HD anything, then, IMHO, this monitor is a good workhorse. Oh yeah, others hereabouts use the same model.

Ditto on that JVC. Grazie helped me immensely when it came to that decision and I haven't regretted it. I bought it from G&G Technologies in New Jersey.
