Currently im using a Samsung 930b 19" LCD for my computer. I want to add a second monitor, but since this is for my room at college, I want to use the second screen primarily for watching movies. Technically I could just get a basic LCD monitor, but I found that Samsung offers a range of 19"-26" HDTV monitors that have tuners built in, composite video built in, and HDMI in addition to DVI. I was thinking that it might be easier to just get something like this, that way I can watch dvds using a regular DVD player and a remote control, etc.

This is the monitor, my only potential gripes are: 1.) no VESA mount, 2.) 5ms response time. Will 5ms be an issue if i ever hook up something like an Xbox to it?
Also, are samsung's offerings still as good as they were when i bought my current monitor a while back? The only reason I have a strong preference for them is that there is alot of junk in the LCD monitor market, so any thoughts on this particular one would be very helpful. thanks.
