What do I have to do to get a flat screen TV to work with cable?

I have always had a CRT TV. I've been trying to find info on the new flat screen TVs. On some Web sites, people say they have trouble getting cable TV reception with them. I only have "basic" cable service. The cable comes right in and connects directly to the TV without going through a converter box. Would this be a problem with a new TV? For teh littel I watch TV, I hate thinking I'd have to give the cable company an extra $10 a month to rent a converter - I'm already paying almost $200 now. Would the TV having an internal digital converter make a difference? I also have space limitations and couldn't have more than a 19" screen, but some people said that the picture will be much smaller than 19" on a 19" screen. Any other advice?
