Many of the HD set-top tuners up until about 2004 had RGB/"VGA" outputs on them, and a CRT monitor would just plug right in and work fine if you adjusted the height on the monitor for a 16:9 picture. The best ones to look for (on Ebay or elsewhere) are the LG/Zenith ones and their clones, including several that also include DirecTV built-in (which can be bypassed in the menus). These models include Zenith 420 and 520, Sony 200 and 300, Hughes HTL-HD, and LG 3100?/3200?/3410 and maybe others. (Those model numbers are not complete but should be enough to do a Google search.) The RCA DTC-100/Proscan PSHD105 and several Samsungs (SIR-T150,160,360?) also have RGB outputs.
