Some of the HDTV tuners with RGB/"VGA" outputs include the RCA DTC-100, Proscan PS-HD105 (same box as the RCA '100), Zenith HD-SAT520, Zenith 420 (not sure of exact model number), Hughes HTL-HD, Sony 200 and 300 (not sure of exact model numbers), Samsung SIR-T150, 160, 360. With any of these tuners and a VGA monitor, you would need a separate amplifier and speakers for sound.

Also, one important detail if you want to try connecting any of the tuners to a computer monitor: Almost any CRT computer monitor will work (as long as it can display a 1024x768 signal or better, which is almost all of them since about 1994), but few LCD monitors will work unless they are specifically described as being HDTV-compatible. Actually, most newer 16:9 LCD monitors can probably accept a 720p signal from an HD tuner, but the RCA and Proscan above, among others, can only output 1080i HD signals (in addition to SD).
