I think that the best possible set up for price is the C-128 monitor (cheap,
even from Sears) and one of the myriad of new component TV tuners.  They
often have remote control and the unit I bought even has MTS (it is a Pioneer).
I do not know of any monitor for the Amiga, that is made by Commodore which
has a receiver built in, and I have only seen the Sony 13".  It does look
good, but I still want to see the Amiga on a 25" RGB set.

The nice thing about the Commodore monitor is that hooked up to the Amiga 
you can hook the TV receiver or VCR to the composite in and the Amiga to
the RGB in and you still have one input left over.  Hope that you find what
works for you.
