I'm thinking about putting together a Mac mini system for my kitchen which could double as a TV (using EyeTV). I'd like to put the computer in a cupboard and I'd like to put the monitor on a swing arm above the kitchen counter. Can anyone suggest a good (preferably) widescreen LCD flat panel that can be mounted like that???

Thanks!

Dell 2007FPW (20"), 2405FPW (24"), and 3007FPW (not sure how big your kitchen is ) all come VESA-mountable out of the box.

yeah, I'm thinking even 20" is too big. Maybe something 15" or so. Any ideas for that range? I've even contemplated a touch screen. But I imagine that's more of a pain than it's worth.

Poke around in the LCD and Touchscreen sections on Newegg. Using the keyword "VESA" should limit it to screens designed to be mounted.
