If you're just going for cost and ability to stream pretty much EVERYTHING, I recommend the Popcorn Hour A-100. I love mine. It's not as flashy or user friendly as many of the options out there, but it supports a bunch of streaming protocols (SMB, NFS, HTTP, UPNP AV), plays nearly every video format imaginable (H.264, MPEG-2, DivX, Xvid) in just about any containter (.mov, .mpg, .vob, .iso, .mkv), works as an NAS enclosure, and even has it's own torrent client.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"

God awful interface, though.
Forgot to mention, it's less than $200. Though you'll have to wait for the next batch.
