I'm looking for a small-ish (19"-21") LCD TV that can accept a DVI input from my MAME box. I need it to rotate 90 degrees into portrait mode for certain games. I'd also be using it for PS2 and other consoles, so component and s-video inputs are important. Does any such beast exist? 720p is just fine.

I would think most TVs would fit your description, so long as you've got a DVI-whatever adapter & a rotating TV mount.

You might be better off with a computer monitor. They usually have rotating stands, unlike TV's.

I was hoping that there's a TV whose stand will allow the panel to rotate. That would be rare, since there's no reason to watch TV that way. I don't really want to mount the panel on the wall, so a stand that can hold the TV in portrait mode is really what I'm after. There may only be LCD monitors that do this...

I have a HP 2448 monitor on my PC at home, and that allows you to have it portrait or landscape. It has the standard VGA input and HDMI, so that would work (DVI to HDMI connectors are easy to find).
To tell you the truth, I rarely swivel the thing. I mean, I tried it, and playing portrait games are better than the arcades - the screen is huge. But..... I just don't bother most of the time.
